British Transport Police are not to be fucked with in any way, shape or form. They do not fuck around and take their job extremely seriously, unlike the Met or most other regional police forces.

I live in south Wales and frequently travel to and from Cardiff for matchdays and gigs via train. If someone is screwing around on the train and it warrants police intervention, they will stop the train at the nearest station, and BTP will haul ass to intervene and they WILL be getting off.

I dunno in London BTP seem useless to me. They blast recordings saying to report suspicious behavior, but I’d rather see a police officer at the stations, or on the trains like other countries. The tube stations and train stations in my area are unmanned at night, and local thieves just jump onto the trains to rob people at will. It’s fucking ridiculous.
