Drop in crime rate on railways - train companies respond
25/05/2010Responding to new figures showing that the crime rate on Britain’s railways has fallen for the sixth consecutive year, Michael Roberts, Chief Executive of the Association of Train Operating Companies, said:
“It is good news for passengers that the crime rate on Britain’s railways continues to get ever lower.
“Train companies invest significant amounts of money, time and effort into ensuring that passengers are safe on trains and at stations, and these results show that this hard work is clearly paying off.
“However, train companies are not complacent and will keep working hard with the British Transport Police to promote a safe and secure railway.”
