Despite its age and high usage, train related accidents which have involved passenger fatalities are exceptionally rare, the last major incident to result in these being the Moorgate tube crash in 1975. Derailments in the period 2003–2004 did not result in fatalities, although the Chancery Lane derailment in 2003 led to a closure of the Central line whilst urgent safety checks were undertaken.

Notes

  1. ↑ This total comprises 214 soldiers on the troop train, 9 passengers from the two passenger trains, 3 railway employees and 4 children, believed to be stowaways on the troop train. Col Druitt's official report into the accident gives the figure as 227 (he did not include the 4 children), but he compiled the report very soon after the accident and gave the number of troops killed as 215 which was later revised downwards by the army to 214, the figure which appears on the memorial in the Rosebank Cemetery in Edinburgh.
