Railways: Animals
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many train delays have there been each year since 2020 caused by trains hitting animals on the track.
Answered by Keir Mather
The Department does not hold a centrally published series showing the number of train delays that were caused specifically by trains striking non-human animals on the railway. Operational incident and delay attribution data are recorded and managed by Network Rail and train operators.
