Train operator Northern has completed upgrades to the CCTV cameras which are installed at Dalton-in Furness railway station in Cumbria.
Five new CCTV cameras have been installed and the three existing cameras at the station have been upgraded.
It is hoped that the CCTV cameras will help prevent crime and anti-social behaviour.
Northern is undergoing a programme of improvements at stations across the network.
The ‘A Better Way to Go’ campaign has seen changed to many stations and passengers can see what improvements have been made at their railway station on the Northern website.
Chris Jackson, Regional Director at Northern, said: “The safety of our customers and colleagues is paramount and we are doing all we can to provide them with the safest possible rail network.
“CCTV helps to discourage anti-social and criminal behaviour and, when problematic behaviour persists, can be crucial in providing evidence to the police that enables offenders to be brought to justice.”
British Transport Police Chief Inspector Dave Rams said: “The rail network is a CCTV rich environment and any additions and improvements such as these are always welcome.”
“The extensive CCTV network of thousands of cameras across the country helps to keep the railway a safe place and reassure the travelling public.”
