NSW train workers to trial safety cameras

Train workers in NSW will trial wearable cameras to help improve safety on regional trains.

NSW TrainLink staff will be some of the first public transport staff in the nation to wear the personal safety cameras, which can record anti-social and dangerous behaviour.

"We're trialling this technology with the aim of reducing incidents that could harm staff and customers or make them feel unsafe," Transport Minister Andrew Constance said on Wednesday.

The small cameras live-stream images to a central control room where authorities can be alerted to respond immediately if necessary.

"Regional train travel is a great experience for our customers and we want to make sure these journeys are as pleasant and as safe as possible," Mr Constance said.
