20 Dec 2023To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on what steps it is taking with British Transport Police and other partners, such as ScotRail, to reduce the number of assaults on passengers on Scotland’s railways.
The answer
The British Transport Police works closely with multi-agency partners to help prevent and reduce any incidents arising on the transport network and making the transport network a safer place for passengers and staff.
A positive example of BTP’s partnership working with partners such as ScotRail includes its collaboration with ScotRail’s Travel Safe Team which sees a reduction of the number of incidents on the Scottish rail network.
