UK starts new National Rail Security campaign

05-ukA new nationwide campaign to encourage train passengers and station visitors to report any unusual items or activity has been launched on 1 November by Rail Minister Paul Maynard. The new “See it. Say it. Sorted.’ campaign started at major railway stations in London, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Manchester and will be rolled out across the rest of network in England, Scotland and Wales.
Designed by government, police and the rail industry, the new campaign aims to help build a more vigilant network on railways across the country and raise awareness of the vital role the public can play in keeping themselves and others safe. Everyone who uses the rail network is being urged to report anything unusual either in person to rail staff, helping to keep the UK’s rail network safe.
“With rail staff, British Transport Police, and customers all working together to identify any activity that doesn’t look normal, we can help ensure millions of customers’ journeys and all freight deliveries are safely and securely completed every day so that Britain’s railway remains the safest in Europe,” Gary Cooper, Director of Operations at the Rail Delivery Group, representing train operators and Network Rail, said.
