ScotRail Alliance has installed over 300 new CCTV cameras across its network of 359 stations to improve security for customers and staff. The work has been undertaken as part of a commitment to improve station facilities across the country.
Cameras and monitors have been placed at the entrances to 30 of the network’s busiest stations, as part of a move to highlight the presence of CCTV on trains and stations. A total of 76 stations previously not covered by CCTV have seen it installed since the start of the present ScotRail franchise in April 2015.
Customers with bikes will be one of the biggest groups to benefit, as additional cameras have been placed at 200 stations to monitor cycle parking areas.
“Train travel is safe but that doesn’t mean we take our customers’ safety for granted. With the installation of these additional cameras, we’re sending a clear message that we do not tolerate crime on the railway,” David Lister, the ScotRail Alliance’s safety and sustainability director, said.
