There is also CCTV equipment with cameras in all the cars on the
newer trains. This could possibly provide vital information following an
incident, especially when that incident is on the train or following the
trail of a suspect. However, On the Northern Line, a large percent of the
equipment is faulty and has been for a long while with no urgency to
rectify it, so it's unlikely that it would be of any help.

Given the importance for public safety of working CCTV equipment on both
buses and tubes, I should think there is a good case for bringing in
legislation to severely punish companies and individual managers who
fail to keep such equipment in full working order.
