Comments on CSI data tables
ERA has reviewed the reported CSI data and all large fluctuations have been checked by the reporting NSA. The table below includes comments for the data where, for example, fluctuations
are due to changes in reporting procedures or where the national definition applied gives a value that deviates from the European average.
Table Country Year Variable Comment
Table 3C CZ 2008 PK01 The high number of passengers seriously injured and killed in 2008 is due to one serious accident, a bridge collapse and
subsequent high-speed train collision (8 August 2008).
Table 3D IT 2009 OK02 The high number of other persons killed in derailments of trains in 2009 is due to one serious accident, a derailment of a
train with dangerous goods.

BE 2007 SS06 The figure includes work accidents.
Table 4C CZ 2008 PS01 The high number of passengers seriously injured and killed in 2008 is due to one serious accident, a bridge collapse and
subsequent high-speed train collision (8 August 2008).
Table 4B DE 2008 PS01 The large number of passengers seriously injured is mainly due to one big accident.

derailment led to an explosion of dangerous goods.

road-building equipment.
PL 2009 PS04 The high number of passengers seriously injured in accidents caused by rolling stock in motion in 2009 is due to the inclusion
of persons hopping on or jumping out of trains in motion, in line with Annex 1 of Directive 2004/49/EC, from 2009.

FR 2006 N01–N02 Does not include collisions/derailments on sidings.
HU 2006–08 N01–N06 The fluctuation in the number of occurrences between 2006 and 2008 is due to a combination of a change in reporting
procedures and a true change in number of events.
