Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many incidences of sexual assault have been recorded on public transport in Lancashire in the last five years.

Crimes such as sexual assault on the railway, are recorded by British Transport Police (BTP). The Department does not hold information on other forms of public transport.

Please see below the number of sexual offences recorded on the national rail system in Lancashire within the last five years.

The data has been split into two categories which are Sexual Offences on Trains and Sexual Offences On and Off the Trains; this includes trains, car parks and public toilets within the station.
