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.
