No! High-speed rail has an unrivalled safety record. In Japan, where the first line in the world opened in 1964, over 7 billion passengers have travelled on high-speed trains and there has not been a single fatality or injury as a result of derailment. Similarly in France, which has the most extensive high-speed rail network in Europe, there have been no deaths due to a train running at these speeds.
