BTP steps up armed patrols on railways
Armed patrols are being deployed by British Transport Police in response to the terrorist attack in Manchester and the resulting ‘critical’ warning by the government, which was issued last night. However, BTP’s deputy chief constable has urged railway passengers not to be alarmed by the sight of armed officers at stations or on trains, and said that no new, specific intelligence had been received, meaning that there was no reason to avoid travelling on trains.
New ‘green’ station opens in CambridgeA new station serving science and business parks in Cambridge has opened. Cambridge North is operated by Greater Anglia, but Great Northern trains also call there. The three-platform station includes a 1,000-space cycle park and a car park for 450 vehicles. It is also served by buses, including those on the Cambridge guided bus route. The station is ‘green’, with solar panels providing up to 10 per cent of its power.
