Was the rail passenger who was attacked and seriously injured on a Victoria to Littlehampton train by thugs (The Argus, April 14) travelling on a new digital information display, air-conditioned, sliding door, Euro train?

The new trains have hidden (to prevent vandalism) full carriage CCTV coverage plus, in the wheelchair compartment, a passenger emergency voice communication direct to the driver.

At a rail passenger meeting, guest speaker the chief constable of the British Transport Police, stressed his force relied on passengers' eyes for reporting everything suspicious.
