For those that were unable to attend it was a very informative evening. A very good insight into both the successes and limtations of our local BTP▸ (British Transport Police), including staffing levels. Approx 3000 officers to cover the national network of which 2000 are dedicated to London. Doesn't leave the rest of the nation with a great deal.

The PCO's you see around the area are generally funded by FGW▸ (First Great Western).

One of the comments was that the freephone number to report problems should be a lot more obvious 0800 40 50 40.
