Paws on patrol at Waterloo Station – strengthening security

CANINE colleagues Riley, Buster and Flo have joined the security team at London Waterloo. They provide extra reassurance for customers and strengthen security at Britain’s biggest station.

London Waterloo serves South Western Railway (SWR) and Network Rail Wessex (NR Wessex) and is Britain’s first major station to introduce regular dog patrols.

The dogs began regular patrols this month as part of a three-month trial. While their arrival is not linked to any increased threat, their visible presence offers an added deterrent and help colleagues maintain a safe and welcoming environment for customers.

Riley, aged 11, and Buster, aged 9, are Cocker Spaniels, while Flo, aged 10, is a Labrador. London Waterloo will be their last deployment before retirement.
