Same-day rail and road safety statistics are structured differently
Rail and road safety statistics released on the same day are organised in different ways, with rail data by network and road data by casualty group, journey purpose and collision factors.
The Office of Rail and Road published rail safety statistics covering mainline rail, London Underground, and other non-Network Rail networks including trams, metros, light rail, minor and heritage railways [1].
The Department for Transport published road casualty factsheets covering fatal collisions, driving-for-work collisions, older and younger drivers, and child casualties [2][3][4][5].
The road factsheets also cover factors including speed, alcohol and drugs, and seatbelt non-wearing [2].
Further road safety topic summaries and ad-hoc reports are available from the Department for Transport [6].
