Just had a visit from a PCSO. As he was on Forest Hill beat, he didn't have any intention of covering the station itself which is disappointing in the context of a robbery like this. This apparently falls under Crofton Park ward and BTP for the station itself.

There is apparently a possibiilty of CCTV covering the station though.

I hadn't considered the BTP angle and of course they have their own stats. Makes for interesting reading - click on "Stations we Cover" and then "more":

In HOP there is a big % increase but by itself this is probably not statistically significant given the low figures anyway. Overall there is a 10% increase and this seems to be wholly accounted for by Brockley, Honor Oak Park and Forest Hill and more so given the decreases on the rest of the line.
