Safety Statistics

Can somebody point me to some figures that set out the relative safety
of train and car travel so I can settle an argument over the perceived
"danger" of train travel? Thanks

Go to a busy Road Junction and count the bunches of flowers that have
been placed, then go to Clapham Junction and do the same :-p

Clapham Junction wasn't a very sensitive suggestion.

Whether it is or it isn't, how many accidents have their been there in
all its years compared with a road junction with similar levels of
passengers through it daily?

How does the passenger throughput of Clapham Junction compare with the
passenger throughput of a very busy road junction, such as the M1/M25
interchange?
