Scope and content
This is an application for leave to appeal which rose from the question of who bears responsibility for ensuring the safety of passengers travelling on commuter trains. A train commuter was stabbed in a train and died the following day. This happened during a period when numbers of security staff on commuter trains were significantly reduced. Leave for appeal was granted.
