Who regulates train safety?
Train safety in the UK is primarily overseen by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR). They set safety standards, investigate incidents, and enforce regulations to protect passengers and staff. The ORR would likely be involved in reviewing the rise in platform falls reported by Greater Thameslink Railway.
