How does this station compare?
Each line compares this station with stations of a similar size. A station is only called higher or lower when the difference is clearly bigger than chance. This is a comparison of recorded crime, not a safety rating.

Where crime was recorded
The shaded squares show where crimes recorded by the local police force were reported. Darker squares had more. Locations are approximate: Police.uk moves each crime to a nearby point to protect privacy.
Crime over time
Each pair of bars is one period: blue for the local police force, orange for British Transport Police. Dashed outlines mean there are no figures for that period – either the force did not publish them or they have not been loaded into this site yet. It does not mean there was no crime. Hover over any bar for details.

Time of year
Each square is one month. Paler squares had fewer recorded crimes, deeper blue squares had more. Comparing the same month across years helps separate regular seasonal patterns from one-off changes.
—
Expected vs recorded
Using only the months before it, how many crimes would we have expected this month – and how did that compare with what was actually recorded? The shaded band is the range we would expect about 8 times in 10. Checking past months this way also shows how reliable the forecast is.
