Part 2 of 3: By Train

Wait
on a well-lit section of the platform, close to the exit or where there are
other people around. Many stations now have CCTV cameras and staff that are
trained to deal with emergencies

When
you get on the train try to sit in a busy compartment and keep any bags and
personal possessions you have next to you

If
you feel uncomfortable switch seats or even consider getting off the train and
catching the next one. Only do this if the station where you are getting off is
manned and busy
