Hundreds of upgraded CCTV cameras set to watch over TransPennine Express stations

TransPennine Express (TPE) is rolling out one of its biggest-ever security upgrades, with more than 600 new high-definition cameras being installed across its stations. 

The £4.4 million investment will deliver sharper images, wider coverage, and faster access to footage - helping staff and police respond to incidents more effectively and giving customers extra peace of mind. 

At the heart of the programme is a new monitoring system that detects suspicious movement outside operating hours. The innovation ensures stations will be better protected at all hours.   

Chris Nutton, Major Projects Director for TPE, said: “The safety and wellbeing of our customers and colleagues is incredibly important to us. CCTV doesn’t just deter bad behaviour; it provides the evidence that brings offenders to justice.” 

All 19 TPE-managed stations are set to have the new system up and running by Spring 2026. 

Chris added: “Stations will be safer places thanks to these improvements. We’re proud to be investing in technology that protects our people and gives customers peace of mind.”
