A Fine Safety Record

A Fine Safety Record.

During the year 1930 only one passenger was killed in train accidents on the Home railways—a safety record which is probably unique in railway annals, having regard to the immense business handled. The train mileage for the year was 424.2 millions, and the liability to casualty in the case of passengers was one in 1,684,000,000. Some 552 passengers were injured in train accidents during 1930, this figure including many minor injuries which would not be included in the railways page 21 statistics in numerous other countries.
