From stabbing attacks to assaults and antisocial behaviour, do you still feel safe taking the train?

On Saturday evening, 11 people were injured on board a high-speed train travelling between Doncaster and London.

The rampage might well have been worse if it wasn't for the actions of the staff on the train and the swift response from the emergency services. But can we every truly be prepared for such an attack?

Niall discusses whether similar incidents are unavoidable with policing commentator Graham Wettone and Paste BN crime correspondent Martin Brunt.
