We have thousands of railway stations across the UK, and those stations have multiple entrances, multiple platforms. What we can't do is make life impossible for everyone, but we do need to take sensible and proportionate steps to make the public transport network safe. A review of train security measures could provide other answers, Alexander said, citing the example of the 2017 London Bridge terrorist attack, in which a van was driven at pedestrians, and after which vehicle blockers were put in place for pavements on several bridges in the capital.
A young man was punched and kicked to the ground during a racist attack at a London Underground station. A spokesman said: They all left the train at Camden Town where the incident escalated into the group kicking and punching the man to the ground. Members of the public and station staff tried to intervene but the assault continued before the thugs fled and got on a train towards High Barnet.
