The officers from the British Transport Police are very helpful. On several occasions, I have been harrassed by people begging, especially at the bus station in Guild Street and it can be quite intimidating if you are on your own. Once, one of the officers came over and had words with one man who had walked round several times and he left immediately. The officer told me to let them know if I had any problems again. I have spoken to them a couple of times since, once because one of the beggers got abusive and was shouting horrible things at anyone within earshot. An officer came over and they were promply escorted from the station. read more
