ACCIDENTS ON BRITISH RAILWAYS IN 1961

The annual report for 1961 on British railways safety is summarized. In many categories there are failures to maintain the high standards of the previous few years. Accidents attributed to human error decreased in 1961. The conclusions of the report are: existing safety policies are in need of review and updating; the Rule Book needs clarification; and high standards of discipline and morale among all railway personnel must be stressed.
