The Thames through London must have a pusher as well then, Average of 68 a year. That average will go up when HS2 is finished, as the Manchester Pusher can get to London quicker then.

In a way I would agree, except that there don't seem to be a similar number of incidents in any other conurbation with a canal system, e.g. London, Birmingham. So the possibility exists that if the acts are deliberate then the attacker is adept at selecting victims who, for whatever reason, would be unlikely to seek police involvement should they survive. The Thames through London must have a pusher as well then, Average of 68 a year. The only figure I can find at the moment for Thames deaths is 15, in 2013, and 34 deaths in total in the four years preceding www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-28456639 , but I think the difference is that the overwhelming number of deaths on the Thames and elsewhere are not unexplained.

I suppose to do a proper comparison one would use the Regents canal around Camden and Islington. Not a lot of dead people in the cut there thankfully. Tidal Thames will always receive a lot of suicides compared with the cut and as it is pretty well protected with railings it is actually quite awkward to just push someone in.

Any death by drowning unless witnessed is unexplained. Your right though my figure was way over the mark, Its an average of one body a week the length of the thames

I think town/city centre canals are much more accessible than rivers. Also canals have steep sides making it difficult to get out (don't really want to explain how I know that).
Even Rotherham town centre has it's share of young people drowning.
