Railways (Vandalism)

Question
What action he is taking to combat vandalism on railways and at railway stations.
Answer

The primary responsibility for combating vandalism on the national rail network lies with Network Rail, which works closely with the British Transport police, train operators, local authorities and, of course, the wider community. The cross-industry national route crime group steers the industry’s efforts to reduce the risks posed by trespass and vandalism.
