Ilkley and Burley-in-Wharfedale train stations are included in a scheme which will see Northern install more than 600 new CCTV cameras and update over 1000 more across its stations to provide even safer journeys for customers.
Tricia Williams, chief operating officer at Northern, said: “The safety of our customers and colleagues is paramount and we are doing all we can to provide them with the safest possible environment. “CCTV helps discourage anti-social and criminal behaviour and, when problematic behaviour persists, can be crucial in providing evidence to the police that enables offenders to be brought to justice.”
The eighty-five stations involved in the scheme are: Accrington, Adwick, Auldeth Road, Alderley Edge, Alnmouth, Apperley Bridge, Appley Bridge, Barnsley, Billingham, Blackpool North, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Blackpool South, Bolton Upon Dearn, Bradford Forster Square, Bradford Interchange, Brinnington, Broad Green, Bredbury, Buxton, Burley in Wharfdale, Burley Park, Chorley, Chester Le Street, Cheadle Hulme, Conisbrough, Cottingham, Cramlington, Crossgate, Croston, Darton, Diasy Hill, Elsecar, Edge Hill, Fitzwilliam, Gatley, Garswood, Gathurst, Goldthorpe, Halewood, Hallith Wood, Hatfield and Stainsforth, Hattersley, Hazel Grove, Headingly, Heaton Chapel, Hexham, Hough Green, Ilkey, Kearsley, Kirk Sandell, Kirkham & Wesham, Kirkstall Forge, Knutsford, Layton, Levenshulme, Littleborough, Lytham, Marple, Meols Cop, Mexborough, Micklefield, Mossley Hill, Morpeth, Newton for Hyde, Northwich, Orrel, Parbold, Pemberton, Rainhill, Redcar Central, Rochdale, Romiley, Rose Hill, Seaham, Shipley, South Milford, St Helens Junction, Stocksfield, Thatto Heath, Wombwell, Whiston, Wilmslow, Whitley Bridge and Widnes.

There are also more than 350 body-worn cameras available to the train operator’s staff.
