Between July 2016 and January 2018, there were 348 reported incidents of sexual assault on the London Underground, of which 100 were on the Central line. That’s nearly double that of the next most reported line, the Victoria line, at 55.

Unlike most other lines, Central line trains do not have CCTV cameras. TfL plans to fit the trains with cameras by 2023.

This is unacceptable.

We just agreed a motion urging the Mayor to direct TfL to bring forward their plans to fit CCTV cameras on the Central line.
