Officials are following the progress of the project closely and will review the project when it finishes in 2020. More broadly, the Government is exploring hydrogen’s potential to deliver against its clean growth goals across the energy system and the wider economy. Specifically, in the case of transport, the approach has been to support the market in its early stages, by funding the deployment of Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles with the appropriate hydrogen refuelling infrastructure.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 22/03/2019 12:23:43 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

Under their franchise agreements, Train Operating Companies are required to work with the BTP to manage and reduce railway crime. British Transport Police officer numbers have remained relatively stable on the network over the last five years and are currently (2017/18) nearly 3,100 by comparison to just over 2,900 in 2009/10.</p><p>With growing passenger numbers, the Department has been clear that it wants to see more train operating company customer-facing staff on the railways, not fewer.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The BTP keeps records of crime reported on the railways. Crime figures should be considered in the context of rising passenger numbers, with crimes per million passenger journeys remaining relatively low and having decreased overall between 2014 and 2017.</p><p> </p><p>With regard to factors influencing the levels of report crime on trains, the BTP has run a number of successful initiatives in recent years to encourage more reporting of crimes, which is likely to be a factor in the numbers of crimes reported. For example, BTP has a popular dedicated crime reporting text service - ‘61016’ – which allows people to report offences to the police easily and discreetly.</p><p> </p><p>The levels of crime that are seen on the railway broadly mirror those seen across society as a whole, as recorded by the territorial police forces.</p><p> </p><p>A recent report by the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) concluded that driver controlled train operation by comparison with conductor operation does not increase passenger safety risks.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 25/04/2019 13:31:44 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
