PA telling yobs to behave or BTP will be waiting for them at the next station.

Unfortunately, this is presumably at the risk of looking like a lemon if BTP then aren't there for whatever reason?

And then when they laugh at you for not knowing that BTP will not turn up as they aren't responsible for policing the trams you will look rather daft.

Do GMP have a dedicated Meteolink Policing Team ?

 

[martin2345uk]

There’s a Travelsafe unit which is shared between the tram and bus networks.

BUMP.

I'm also interested in this aspect of the role if anyone has some knowledge or personal experience to share with us?

So they re the one who study well the guideline, amd better control over the authorities.

Eh?

Everyone knows the metrolink is policed by GMP. Who have far bigger fish to fry than anti social behaviour on the trams.

Simply put, unless the travel safe team are about your on your own.
