<p>The department is confident that the changes introduced by Transport for London
will not have a detrimental impact on passenger safety on the London Underground.</p><p>
</p><p>Not every London Underground (LU) station has a Station Control Room, as they
are not a safety or security requirement at all stations. In advance of making the
recent changes, LU reviewed the requirement for a Control Room at each station to
determine their necessity based on individual station and staff needs.</p><p> </p><p>At
some locations it was decided that there was no longer a requirement for a Control
Room as there were better ways to provide Control Room functionality in the station.
Moving station staff into customer facing areas increases their ability to identify
suspicious behaviour and to report it.</p>
