Rail unions warn BTP funding crisis is putting staff and passengers at risk

RMT - The warning comes as frontline officer numbers have fallen to unsafe levels amid rising crime across the rail network.
In a joint letter RMT, TUC, Aslef, TSSA and Unite, say years of cuts have pushed BTP officer numbers to the limits of safe headcount reduction, with over 500 posts due to disappear by the end of 2025/26 and stations already closed, reducing visibility and frontline capability.
