Overwhelmingly, however, rail travel in Europe is one of the safest means of travel out there. According to a 2022 report on Railway Safety and Interoperability in the EU, “major accidents (with five or more fatalities) [are] becoming increasingly rare and significant accidents have decreased in recent years.”Japan's Shinkansen high-speed rail network opened for business on 1 October 1964. Since then the system has carried nearly 7 billion passengers without a single fatality due to collision.According to the Association of American Railroads (AAR), the accident rate is down 28% since 2000 with the last decade being the “safest ever”. Data from the Federal Railroad Administration revealed that accidents on mainline railways are at “an all-time low” and down 49% since 2000.
Are the trains in India safe : Although an estimated 32 people die every day in railway accidents – either by falling off or coming under trains – Indian Railways say they are on track to improve their safety record. The number of accidents per million train-kilometres, a measure of safety, has fallen to 0.03 in 2021-22 from 0.10 in 2013-14.
Are Polish trains safe
Is it safe to travel by train in Poland Travelling on a train in Poland is generally as safe as walking down the street. In recent years patrols of railway police have been stepped up, and they're often visible on platforms or on the trains themselves.
Is Fast train safe : High Speed Rail is the world's safest form of transportation proven by decades of operations all around the world. Japan was the first nation to build high speed rail in 1964, and has since transported 10 billion passengers without a single injury or fatality!
Europe's railways are among the safest in the world. The EU is looking to maintain high standards and to harmonise safety requirements EU-wide. As well as ensuring optimal safety, harmonisation in this area helps improve the compatibility – the interoperability – of national rail systems. The United States
The United States has the highest number of rail accidents in the world, with an average of 124 accidents per year between 2010 and 2019. India is the second most accident-prone country, with an average of 60 accidents per year during the same period.
Are UK trains safe
Is it safe to travel by train Yes, train travel remains one of the safest modes of transport in the UK, as well as in many other parts of the world.Panagiotis Terezakis, head of Hellenic Railways Organisation (OSE) which operates the rail network, says it is safe. The OSE had installed 300 infrared cameras in tunnels and had made progress on the installation of safety systems. He acknowledged, though, that more needs to be done.Safety systems such as lighting, security cameras, emergency help points and security guards (on various trains only) are all in place to maximise your personal safety while you are in transit. Avoid waiting on your own. Try to wait for public transport near other people and in well-lit areas at night. Britain
ORR's HM Chief Inspector of Railways, Ian Prosser CBE said:
“Britain continues to have one of the safest railways in Europe, and thankfully, incidents such as those that occurred at Carmont in August 2020 are very rare.
Do high speed trains derail : TGV accidents are events involving TGV trains which have harmful consequences, such as injury to people or damage to trains, or derailments. High-speed rail is one of the safest modes of transportation; since service started in 1964, there have only been fatalities in high-speed operation in a 2015 derailment.
How fast can a train safely go : Trains cannot reliably exceed 90 mph on track shared with freight trains, and are in most cases limited to 79 mph or less. To exceed 90 mph, passenger tracks should be separated from freight tracks. On a dedicated passenger track (with occasional passing sidings), diesel-powered trains can travel up to 125 mph.
How common are train accidents in Europe
In 2022, there were 1 615 significant railway accidents in the EU, with a total of 808 persons killed and 593 seriously injured. Despite the increase in 2022, the number of significant railway accidents has gradually decreased since 2010, with 614 fewer accidents in 2022 than in 2010 (-27.5 %).

A total of 808 persons were killed in these accidents, while another 593 persons were seriously injured.
Which country has the least safe trains : Using Wikipedia's list of rail crashes and its UIC-sourced list of rail passenger-km by country, one can compare different countries' mainline passenger rail accident fatality rates. The US turns out to be the least safe among the regions I've checked, even worse than India; much-maligned China comes out first.
