KEEPING YOU SAFE

We want you to feel safe when you travel with us. That's why our on board staff take part in regular training, so they can deal with a range of situations. For your peace of mind you will see the British Transport Police at some of the stations we call at and they often travel on our trains. You can also help by keeping all your luggage and personal belongings with you, and staying vigilant at all times.

CCTV and Body Cameras


All of our trains, and most of the stations we serve have CCTV systems, which means a safer environment for our customers and colleagues.  Some of our colleagues also wear small body cameras or ‘Body Worn Videos’.  These measures are for everyone’s safety and security, allowing us to capture incidents on film so that we can deal with them when they’re reported.

It's always a good idea to take a look at the safety information when you board one of our trains too. You can also help by keeping all your luggage and personal belongings with you at all times. Our on board staff are trained to deal with a range of situations, so please speak to them or any station staff immediately if you spot anything unusual, any strange behaviour, or any unattended luggage.

If you are travelling with young children, please ensure they stay clear of opening and closing doors to avoid risk of injury.

Contacting the British Transport Police (BTP)


If you have witnessed or been the victim of a crime or antisocial behaviour, you can report it to the British Transport Police (BTP) via their online portal:

We take anti-social behaviour and crime on our trains very seriously to ensure we provide our passengers with a safe journey and our staff with a safe working environment at all times. There's no excuse for abuse. Examples of anti-social behaviour includes:
  • Drunken/disruptive/rowdy or threatening behaviour
  • Using offensive language
  • Using electronic equipment to play loud music or films, or talking excessively loud on a mobile phone
  • Taking up seats with luggage on busy trains or putting up feet on seats
  • Leaving trains in an untidy or dirty manner
Although rare, someone may be deemed unfit to travel to reduce risks of accidents to themselves or others, to reduce the risk of that person causing upset and distress to other passengers, and to ensure a safe environment for passengers and staff at all times.

In extreme circumstances we reserve the right to refuse travel if we believe someone is acting aggressively, or in an indecent or offensive manner, or if they are unsteady on their feet and are unable to stand on their own without support.


In an emergency


It's normally safer to stay where you are and wait for instructions. But, it's also important you know what to do.
  • if you need to stop the train, pull the alarm, then find a member of staff
  • once your train stops, leave by lowering yourself carefully through the doors; and avoid any rails that could be live
  • leave any personal belongings behind
  • When you've left the train, keep an eye out for hazards like loose rails, wires, bags and suitcases; find a safe place well away from the tracks, and wait for instructions
If you see anything unusual, talk to any member of staff or a police officer. You can also call the transport police on 0800 40 50 40, or you can even text them on 61016, it only takes a minute. 

In an emergency, always call 999.
