Our security arrangements currently cover work at Berwick Upon Tweed, Newcastle, Durham, Darlington, York, Wakefield Westgate, Doncaster, Retford and Peterborough.
The predominant use of the security teams is to provide an exceptional and robust level of customer focused support to our station teams. This includes at smaller stations the support of lone working staff during evening shifts and as they complete the end of shift close-down procedures.
Proactively demonstrate risk awareness, in a confident and professional manner to support station teams and customers travelling through our stations. Actively provide a visual deterrent against anti-social behavior and support station safety policies such as emergency evacuation procedures and crowd control plans.
LNER are committed to tackling the effects of crime and general anti-social behaviour effectively across the route over which we operate.

We have strict criteria in relation to time at work in order to improve employee health & wellbeing and reduce fatigue. It is expected that your security operatives follow the rail industry guidelines.
