Crime on the Tube has soared by almost 40% compared to pre-pandemic levels. This is despite there being 18% fewer passengers.

Victims of sexual offences on buses were overwhelmingly female and are on average aged between 12 and 30. Schoolgirls accounted for a ‘substantial’ amount.

Susan Hall, City Hall Conservatives police and crime spokesperson and frontrunner to become the party’s London mayoral candidate, said: ‘Londoners will be absolutely appalled to hear that crime on the London Underground has risen by 39%. A third of passengers felt worried on the network and 6% no longer used London’s public transport because of an incident.
