Default Ways to Reduce Vandalism

I was just thinking of 3 ways to reduce vandalism and was
wondering of the practicality.
1) Link the on Board CCTV cameras to a central control
room with controls such as on train PA use (like
Scotrail's remote Announcments) 2) Have another person on
the train who can watch the cameras, provide information
and check tickets. 3) Probably not a very good idea, but
do as they do in New York and sometimes in Bristol. Use
the older vehicles at night and save the better ones for
the day.

There's something in the Daily Mail today about First Great
Eastern attempting to combat vandalism at unstaffed
stations by playing classical music through the pa system.
And it supposedly works.....

Certainly it works in pubs and clubs, so why not on railway stations?
Generally people of the mentality to go around wrecking things are unlikely
to appreciate the subtleties of the classics.
