KPI: Safety incidents per 100k passengers journeys

The number of safety incidents involving any customer, passenger, or a member of public per 100,000 passenger journeys taken.

 

Overview

The number of safety incidents involving our passengers compared to the number of passenger journeys remained level in Q1. Incidents are primarily happening in stations and while boarding or alighting trains. Causes are often related to customer behaviours, including intoxication, hurrying for trains and care/attention on stairs. We’ve increased the number of Body Worn Cameras for our front-line colleagues to use. This helps keep colleagues and staff safe, acts as a deterrent to antisocial behaviour and can provide evidence that we share with the British Transport Police. We have updated our Safeguarding Policy and Procedures which will assist in helping those most at risk on our network.
