Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what improvements they are considering to rolling stock alarm systems in order to increase confidence in passenger safety, particularly among women, and whether they plan to assess the effectiveness of the IlluminateSafe system proposed for use alongside the current Call for Aid system.

The Department is working closely with all partners in industry including the Rail Delivery Group and the British Transport Police to ensure that the rail network is a safe environment for the travelling public. Whilst we are always interested in new innovations to the market we have no current plans to assess the effectiveness of this product.
