Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 24 May 2018 to Question 144821, what assessment he has made of trends in the level of cable theft incidents on railway infrastructure on the Tyne and Wear Metro.


This question was answered on 25th June 2018

On the Tyne and Wear Metro, British Transport Police (BTP) is responsible for policing the route and stations from Pelaw to South Hylton, with Northumbria Police having responsibility for the rest of the network, which makes up the majority.

There are monthly partnership meetings between BTP, Tyne & Wear Metro and Northumbria Police to review crime levels on the network. BTP assesses that the trend for the level of theft of cable crimes recorded has been stable over the last five years.
