    How this individual concern was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the report wording shown below. The report was sent to Mr Davies’ family; that does not assign responsibility.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of public announcements directing people to obtain assistance

    Wider context from the report

    “(3) The post-incident site report further identified the lack of public security and welfare announcements at the station (and within the station concourse) aimed at providing direction in the event of illness or of assistance being required. There is a lack of information/announcements to other members of the public as to how to obtain assistance if they are concerned by someone else’s condition or actions. It is not clear to what extent this has been further considered or addressed. ”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to fully implement identified station security recommendations

    Wider context from the report

    “(2) The post-incident site report further identified that Portchester Railway station is an impending ‘escalated’ location. Since 2017 there have been 2 previous fatalities in similar circumstances at the station – which is now recognised as having lower levels of surveillance – with Mr Davies’ death being the third. Although recommendations were made after the first incident, the above recommendations and identified risks (at 1) have not yet been (fully) addressed or implemented. ”

    Insufficient CCTV surveillance and platform visibility

    Wider context from the report

    “(1) The post-incident site report presented by British Transport Police (in conjunction with the Design Out Crime Unit) and completed on 22 July 2021 identified that there was (and remains) limited staffing and CCTV surveillance at Portchester Railway Station and limited visibility of the platforms - requiring a security risk assessment with a view to increasing staffing (at the ticket office and on the platform) with increased RCO Patrols and platform surveillance and that additional CCTV installation and coverage was required (of the platforms and public areas) with real time capability. ”
