Okay, I’m just paranoid June 4, 2009
Posted by CamdenKiwi in : Miscellany , trackbackBlimey! I had a reply from Transport for London about their threats to send photos of anyone using their help points to the police. It turns out that they were just trying to stop people pushing the buttons and shouting. Fair enough I guess, especially when some regulation probably stops station staff just giving the little gobshites an earful.
From Transport For London:
King’s Cross station has been suffering from the misuse of the Help Points in operation there, with abusive shouting down the line getting to be a regular event. I’ve spoken with the station supervisor there who confirmed that officers from British Transport Police will attend and try to apprehend offenders, but unfortunately not always in time. As the Help Points are covered by CCTV, occasional warnings are made specifically directed at culprits caught on camera, that footage will be passed on to the police.
I’m sorry if it was not made clear to whom the announcements were directed and if this caused you any concern. I can only apologise and confirm that these announcements are directed at individuals rather than the public at large, and that CCTV footage is only passed on to the police when an offence has been committed.
