TRANSPORT union TSSA warned against rolling back on front-line Underground staff today after a survey found one in five LGBTQ+ people experienced hate crime on the network in the past year.
The union said the move would put women and LGBTQ+ passengers at risk of further abuse and harassment.
Its warning followed findings from the London TravelWatch’s latest survey: Out in London — LGBTQ+ people’s safety on the London transport network.
