Together with The Scout Association, Serco Integrated Transport wants to educate children, their families and the wider communities on the potential dangers of trespassing on the railway.

The Cub Scout Serco Personal Safety Badge activity pack is endorsed by the British Transport Police. Full of interesting facts and activities to complete and including true-life stories, this pack – together with the background notes – enables Leaders to demonstrate easily how to be safe and responsible on and around railways.

To arrange an educational visit in the Tyne and Wear area about the dangers and safety on the Metro lines please contact:
