An anti-graffiti film that can be applied to glazed and smooth surfaces is being offered to train and station operators by CPFilms. Llumar GraffitiShield protects windows and surfaces from malicious or accidental damage by pens, paint and even sharp objects. The coating is visibly marked so the vandal believes the underlying surface is damaged, but the film can easily be replaced.
A robust on-train monitoring and recording device is being offered by Rowe Hankins Components.
