A batch of new CCTV cameras will be installed at Manchester Victoria station. Train Operator, Northern say the video surveillance kits will improve coverage at the station including the entrance, concourse, two footbridges and platforms 1-6.
The work is part of an investment programme that was announced last year that will see more than 600 CCTV cameras installed at Northern stations with the project costing up to £750,000. Craig Harrop, regional director at Northern, said: “We already have thousands of cameras at stations across our network and on-board our trains but we are adding more with this £750,000 investment to ensure customers and colleagues always feel safe.

“While CCTV often discourages criminal and anti-social behaviour, if offenders are caught on camera, police can also use the footage to bring them to justice.”
In December, the train operator revealed the number of dangerous attacks recorded on its trains had fallen by almost 90%. There were 69 recorded incidents in 2022 and just eight in 2023.
These figures relate to trains being struck by objects thrown from bridges, railway embankments and stations or those which collide with ‘substantial items’ deliberately placed on the track.
Northern has also installed 7,000 HD CCTV cameras on board its fleet of trains and invested £1.7m in the roll-out of more than 1,000 extra body-worn camera kits to colleagues across its network, taking the total number now in operation to 1,300.
British Transport Police has access to all the footage and can use it in criminal prosecutions.
