Thameslink Line: Safety
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, by what date the deployment of the full cohort of 110 Travel Safe Officers on Thameslink services will be completed; and how these officers will be allocated across the network to maximize passenger safety.

The deployment of an enhanced team of 110 Travel Safe Officers on Thameslink services has now been completed.
Travel Safe Officers are deployed across the network in a targeted, flexible, and data-led way. Their allocation is informed by intelligence and reports from railway staff, the British Transport Police and members of the public, with resources focused on areas where anti-social behaviour, trespass and ticketless travel are most prevalent, in order to maximise passenger safety.
