To report harassment on most Transport for London (TfL) services, you can contact the British Transport Police directly. There are two primary contact methods available:
Reporting Harassment on TfL Services
For all TfL services except the bus network, such as the London Underground, Overground, DLR, Tram, and National Rail services within the TfL network, you can use the following contact details:
| Contact Method | Details |
|---|---|
| Text | 61016 (mobile charges may apply) |
| Call | 0800 40 50 40 |
| Online | Via the British Transport Police website |
These numbers and online options are dedicated to reporting incidents, including sexual harassment, ensuring a swift response from the relevant authorities.
Reporting Incidents on the Bus Network
For incidents occurring specifically on the bus network, the reporting process is managed differently. You should report these incidents by visiting the Metropolitan Police website.
Why Report Harassment?
Reporting harassment is crucial for ensuring the safety and security of all passengers on London's transport network. It helps the authorities:
- Identify patterns: Pinpoint locations or times where incidents are more common.
- Apprehend offenders: Bring perpetrators to justice.
- Improve safety measures: Implement better security protocols based on reported data.
- Support victims: Provide assistance and support to those affected by harassment.
By using the correct reporting channel, you contribute to a safer environment for everyone travelling across London. For more information on reporting sexual harassment and other incidents on TfL, visit the official Transport for London safety page: Report sexual harassment - Transport for London
