Southern Railway services in the UK will see CCTV cameras fitted at all stations and on all trains following the company's takeover by South Central rail.
Under a new franchise agreement, all stations and trains on the South Central network will be fitted with CCTV by June 2011 and all stations across the franchise will be required to maintain or increase the presence of customer-facing staff, leading to a safer and improved passenger experience.
In addition, new ticket gates will be installed at 22 stations (on top of the 14 South London stations being gated prior to the franchise commencement) and almost all South London stations will be staffed from the first to last service of the day.
The franchise will also deliver at least 1,000 extra car parking spaces and 1,500 additional secure bicycle spaces.
