If it's in the Northern Rail area, many 'response' staff are employed by Carlisle, who work under contract for Merseyrail, Northern Rail, FKTPE and TfGM. No travel benefits whatsoever, though and often sadly treated like dirt by both the public and worse, the actual train operating companies.

That seems a bit disgraceful if this is true. Is everyone not in the same railway family then no?

Generally security are outside agencies. That's certainly the case with FCC-depot security guards and additional station security late at night are all from an outside security company just deployed to FCC. No travel benefits etc.

This is very common when work is outsourced, rightly or wrongly.

Don't do it! Railway security is usually lumped in with the cleaning and contracted out as it can be done very cheaply as opposed to employing in house staff. I've managed rail security contracts for LU and the security pay is worse than the train cleaners often with longer un-sociable hours (xmas day is not even overtime and often compulsory).
