Have a safe journey with Northern

Safe Travel

We’re working around the clock to make sure that when you travel, you travel safely on our trains and in and around our stations. The safety of our passengers and our staff is very important to us, this means that we won’t tolerate any anti social behaviour at our stations and on trains. Let us all be kind to one another to ensure a safe and pleasant journey for all.

Here’s how we ensure to help you travel safely.

Over 6,000 cameras at our stations and on board our trains
Our teams have started to wear body worn cameras to help protect you, our colleagues, and to deter any antisocial behaviour with over 1500 cameras out on our network.
60 Northern Travel safety officers patrolling the network, these work alongside British Transport Police.
384 help points and video ticket machines at stations which can connect you straight to emergency services or to seek some assistance from our control room.
Our main station car parks hold the Park Mark Secure designation.

Restricted Items

There are a number of items which we do not allow to be carried onto our trains. These include:
