Secure Station Status

Tom Brake: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many stations with secure station status have subsequently had their designation removed since 6 December 2004; and which stations have been designated secure stations under the secure station scheme since that date. [2173]

Derek Twigg: Stations are awarded secure stations status for a two year period once they have met the required scheme accreditation standards on station design, station management, crime management, and passenger perceptions. There is provision for the accreditation to be withdrawn if there is a clear breach of standards during that time. No stations have breached the standards since the launch of the scheme in 1998.

The following 38 stations have been accredited under the secure stations scheme since 6 December 2004, including 27 new accreditations and 11 re-accreditations:
