Welcome to the Community Safety Resource Centre

Everyone has the right to travel in safety, which makes community safety one of the rail industry’s highest priorities. Like other industries, the railway is confronted by the challenges of tackling crime and anti-social behaviour which can affect both staff and the public, and cost the industry dearly. Crucially, as an industry we realise that in order to tackle community safety issues, we must all work together.
