The SIGBI Railway Station Safety Survey 2025

An investigation by leading women’s charity, Soroptimist International Great Britain and Ireland (SIGBI), into safety standards at UK train stations has revealed widespread gaps in basic passenger protection, with women disproportionately affected.

Despite ongoing efforts to improve travel safety, initial findings are that more than half of stations (55%) surveyed were found to lack visible security provision, only one in ten stations were staffed at all times, 48% reported no uniformed staff, and adequate lighting was lacking – with 48% of car parks poorly lit, in isolated locations or without designated “safe” areas.
