British Transport Police

We protect and police 10,000 miles of track and 3,000 railway stations and depots every day, so that millions of people can make the journeys that matter to them.

We’re proud to police the London Underground system, the Docklands Light Railway, the Midland Metro Tram System, the Croydon Tramlink, the Sunderland Metro and the Glasgow Subway.

These are unique policing environments, with unique sets of needs. That is why we use our time, skills and resources to empower our staff with excellent training to ensure we’re able to deal with rail crime across counties, countries and networks.
