Train Operating Companies: CCTV
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent discussions she has had with the British Transport Police on the adequacy of access to train operating company CCTV systems.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
Police access to CCTV is an essential tool for use not only when investigating crime on the rail network, but also to equip Police Officers with effective situational awareness and evidence when making decisions in ongoing incidents.
The Department is working with British Transport Police (BTP) and train operators to ensure sufficient access to CCTV, so that the force can carry out its policing duties across the rail network.
