Petition Make it law that all public trains have working CCTV at all times.

Introduce a legal requirement for all public passenger trains to have working CCTV whenever in service, with standardised retention periods and guaranteed police access, to improve investigations and protect women and girls from sexual offences.

More details

Women and girls experience sexual harassment and assault on trains far too often, yet many cases go uninvestigated because CCTV is missing, not working, or inaccessible to police. This denies victims justice, discourages reporting, and allows offenders to act without accountability. Making working CCTV a legal requirement would improve investigations, deter abuse, and treat women’s safety on public transport as a public protection priority.
