KPI: Safety incidents per 100k passenger journeys

The number of safety incidents involving any customer, passenger, or a member of public per 100,000 passenger journeys taken.

 

Overview

In Q1 2025/26 Safety Incidents per 100K Passenger Journeys were higher than expected when compared to the same period in 2024/25, which can primarily be attributed to a single incident on the Marches Line in May. The incident continues to be investigated by the RAIB. When removing this incident from the statistics, the number of incidents remain in line with previous quarters with incidents primarily taking place at stations or while boarding or alighting trains.
