Southern Railway, part of the Govia Thameslink Rail (GTR) franchise, is the Duty Holder responsible for maintaining a safe environment for passengers at Peckham Rye station.
The train operator and Network Rail have made a number of improvements to the station environment during the last five years, including longer waiting shelters to provide more space for passengers to get on and off trains, enhanced CCTV monitoring arrangements, and the introduction of “first to last” train staffing.
In 2010, Peckham Rye station was awarded “secure station” accreditation under the Secure Stations scheme managed by the British Transport Police and the Department for Transport. The station has maintained this status in subsequent years.
