HC Deb 21 December 2000 vol 360 cc301-4W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will list all train derailments since 1994. [143555]

Mr. Hill

The Health and Safety Executive's (HSEs) Railway Inspectorate is able to provide a list of train derailments only for the two year period 1998–99 and 1999–2000, which is shown in the table. This shows derailments on all railways, which includes the Railtrack network, Metropolitan railways, London Underground, Heritage railways and Tramways.

For earlier years the numbers of derailments are included in the Railway Inspectorate's annual reports. Copies are in the House Library.
