If a passenger alarm is pulled it could show which one? Same or Door Levers?
Good examples
Especially if multiple handles have been pulled…
And for guards to look at when in the back cab - I assume there isn't a dedicated office for them like most stock except the Pendilionos?
Maybe some recent high profile LNER stabbings would suffice?
That is a very good point that hadn't crossed my mind!
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Intercity Train managers/ guards would have access to the back cab of a train? Its only regional trains they use the back cab, and generally have their own area on Intercity trains.
No different to shops, buses etc where it happens. It's to make it very clear that you're on CCTV to act as a deterrent
And a number of hotels show cctv of the reception / lobby for that reason.
Except it isn't a deterrent in any way. The vast majority of passengers behave in a civilised manner anyway and those that don't really aren't going to either care or be deterred. It is just a creeping surveillance society that should be strictly regulated and in most cases stopped.
It may not be a deterrent. But it may help to reassure worried passengers that any such activity is being watched and recorded.
That doesn't even mean anything. Any such activity is being watched and recorded? Do you mean activity like people just sitting on a train, minding their own business which is what the screens show? If that sort activity worries people then public transport isn't for them.
'Several' handles... I blame the BBC for this modern bizarre trend of substituting 'multiple'; for 'many', 'several', etc.
Mk4s have a dedicated office for the TM
Hardly "creeping" when it's been a thing for over 30 years. You're on CCTV regardless, the screen just visually re-enforces that
No, SWR’s were also removed in the layout changes about 4 or 5 years ago.
It's not. You're in a public place, and you're on CCTV.
The only people who can see you are the people who can... see you. Shops and other places have had similar systems in place (where other people who are in the same place can see a CCTV feed of the same place) for decades
It hasn't been on public transport for over 30 years at all. You have just made that up. As for being on CCTV regardless, yes I know, but CCTV and the release of images taken by CCTV is regulated. There was quite a furore when Branson released images clearly showing people's faces when rebutting Corbyn's claim he had to stand on a VTEC service. Therefore, showing CCTV images to everybody on a train is either against the regulations or certainly against the spirit of the regulations and should be clamped down on.
A lot of London Buses show CCTV on passenger-facing displays. They show the CCTV system is working (out of use cctv is quite common on some trains), and it also deters anti-social behaviour. It can also show how busy other carriages are? Like on buses some like to look to see how busy the upper deck is before they go up. Let's not kid ourselves that we have any remaining privacy in any public area.
So you dislike surveillance that specifically targets criminals but think broadcasting images of people doing absolutely nothing wrong is fine? Well, I don't.
