Reporting a crime

To report a crime on the transport network:

Terrorism or suspicious activity

To report possible terrorist activity:

  • Call the confidential hotline on 0800 789 321

Hate crime

A hate crime is defined by the British Transport Police as when someone commits a crime against you because of your:

  • race
  • religion
  • sexual orientation
  • gender identity
  • disability

We understand that you might not feel comfortable talking to the police about what happened - there are other ways you can report it.

You don't have to be the victim of hate crime to report it. You can report anything you've seen happening to someone else, or report it on their behalf if they don't want to.
