Travel safety tips
Do:
- wait in a well-lit place near other people
- sit near the help point at stations
- sit near the emergency alarm on trains
- carry extra money in case you get stranded and need to take another bus or train or ring for a lift
- move away from a situation if you feel uncomfortable
- make your mobile phone call before you leave the station, not outside it
- ask someone to meet you at the bus stop or train station at night.
Don't:
- use unlicensed minicabs
- flash your cash. Have your pass or correct change ready instead
- sit on your own. Sit near the driver or other passengers.
