Edward Garnier has congratulated Market Harborough railway station staff for its re-accreditation as a “Secure Station” as part of the Department for Transport’s Secure Stations Scheme. The scheme is intended to improve and standardise security practices at railway stations in the UK and to achieve accreditation, stations must conform to certain standards prescribed by British Transport including satisfying independent passenger surveys that measure the safety concerns of passengers.
Edward Garnier said “The reaccreditation of Market Harborough as a “secure station” is excellent news.
“It is very important that people feel safe when they are travelling and I hope they will feel reassured now Market Harborough railway station has been given this status.
“I have always found the staff at the station welcoming and willing to help. I hope they are proud of what they have achieved.”
