According to the British Transport Police website
http://www.btp.police.uk/about.htm
"British Transport Police is the national police force for the railways
providing a policing service to rail operators, their staff and passengers
throughout England, Wales and Scotland."
From HM Inspector of Constabulary:
"The force deals with all crimes, from murder (subject to agreement with the
local police force) to fare evasion and drunkenness, and a host of other
incidents including all rail accidents, fatalities and suicides."
http://inspectorates.homeoffice.gov.uk/hmic/inspect_reports1/baseline-assessments-nonho-0506/btp-ba-feb06.pdf
I like the qualification regarding dealing with murder. I know what they
mean but it sounds a bit odd.

Ok-it it is that simple, fair enough.
I wonder though if anyone can enlighten me as to whether any of the involved
transport companies have any statutory powers?
If so?

Unless the transport provider is a PA the HRA isn't applicable in my
understanding so it may apply for some, Transport for London, but not
others, Virgin Trains.

Neither necessity nor proportionality comes into play here, since the HRA
does not apply.
