Hello, yesterday I was travelling on the Preston-Colne "East-lancs express" when on arrival at Blackburn a significant number of 'travel safety officers' boarded. All of these were male, wearing body cameras, and to be honest wouldn't have looked out of place refusing people entry to the area's nightclubs later in the evening. I was wondering:
What is the purpose of these-especially on the 5pm Preston-colne
What remit do they have? Are they supposed to engage with passengers or just stand throughout the train looking intimidating (as these did)
Do people think they are a good idea/way of supporting the Transport Police?
I'd be interested in people's thoughts, as a quick Google suggests they are recruiting more of these.
Thanks
