Mind you, while I realised more people die on the road each you, I didn't realise the difference was 1000s of percent..

Towny is quite right, there are fewer deaths/year than under BR during its last years of ownership as in 1988, BR had had a ad year with MK1 stock accidents.

Had Clapham happened with a Wessex Electric, (based on the MK3) then there would most likely have been fewer deaths, as the train body would have been much stronger.
