UK Government sources have confirmed there will be a “surge” in police presence until at least Tuesday focusing on major terminals such as London, Birmingham, York, Leeds and Manchester, as well as at Huntingdon.

The police officers are likely to be most visible in London and at Huntingdon, but will be deployed across as much of the rail network as possible.
