Responding to the publication of the latest crime figures for 2013/14 by the British Transport Police, which show that crime on the railways has fallen for the tenth successive year, Michael Roberts, Director General of the Rail Delivery Group that represents operators and Network Rail, said:
“Britain’s railway has been transformed into Europe’s most improved and fastest growing network and it’s good news for passengers that the overall crime rate has fallen for the tenth successive year. The rise in some crimes, however, remains a concern which is why the industry will continue to work closely with the police to prosecute offenders.
“The safety and security of passengers and staff is taken extremely seriously and millions of pounds have been spent funding the British Transport Police, improving CCTV at stations and hiring additional security to keep people safe.”
