We are launching a new Passenger Safety campaign for Violence Against Women and Girls.

“We want you to have a safe and enjoyable journey to your destination. Here are some general safety tips to keep you in the know:

Save 61016 into your phone

Want a discreet way to reach out for help if you ever feel unsafe? Save 61016 on your phone and you can text British Transport Police to get help if you feel anxious, worried, or spot something suspicious.

Call 999

You can also call the 999 emergency services for assistance in case of an emergency. Alternatively, you can text 999 instead, all you need to do is text ‘register’ to 999 who will reply with instructions for you to follow.

Keep an eye on your battery

Running low on phone battery? 🪫 On most public transport you will be able to top up your phone’s battery using on board USB ports. Keep your USB charger with you just in case you need it. If you’ve left it at home and you’re running low, maybe keep the scrolling down to a minimum to preserve battery life.

Plan your journey

It may sound simple but planning your journey and your connections will help make your journey a lot smoother. You can also aim to catch the train before the last – just in case you get held up”
