Railway Station Requirements

Vandalism is a significant problem for the rail industry both inside the station itself and trackside. Not only does this vandalism run the risk of causing train delays, injuries, derailments and sometimes even fatal injuries, but there is also a direct cost to repair and replace whatever has been vandalised. Here are some of the most important security requirements for railway stations: 

 

  • Protection of the station itself. 
  • Protection of the station’s assets, including bike racks, car parks, etc. 
  • Securing access into staff-only areas of the station. 
  • Fare evasion, vandalism, anti-social behaviour, attempted suicide and more must be alleviated. 
  • Safe separation of pedestrian & vehicular traffic
  • The car park must be secured and access must be controlled
  • Bike storage must be secured and access must be controlled
  • Power, HVAC systems and fuel storage must be controlled. 
  • Depots, & signalling equipment must be secured and access should be controlled.
