Show But one passenger was killed In a train accident In Great Britain In 1925 ; this In a country which excels both in speed of trains and density of traffic. The statement In the press dispatch, that this Is an unparalleled record Is not quite correct, for the railroads of Great Britain have done even better than this In former years. In 1901 and again in 1908 they were able to report none killed ; and In both these cases the records were clear of fatalities under this head for a total period of 15 months or more. The records before the war Included Ireland also. The total number of passengers carried In those years was about fifteen hundred millions In each 12 months. |
