It's late on a Friday afternoon and the train station is unsurprisingly busy as people head home after another week of work.
Sgt Andy Richardson, an officer with the British Transport Police (BTP), is standing on the platform at Lime Street and he tells The ECHO: "Every day is different." The British Transport Police (BTP) is one of the oldest police forces in the country as they help keep millions of people across England, Scotland and Wales safe on the railways and they have a level of work and powers that may surprise you.
We talk about the misconceptions some may have about the BTP; "only dealing with petty crimes" to "having no powers" as Sgt Richardson also tells us about the sheer volume of incidents the forces have to deal with up and down the country on a daily basis.
