BanditryDescription about level of banditry
0 - 2Incidents are relatively uncommon, but the occasional attacker does make an attempt on the train; and then there are pickpockets who work the stations. Something should be done!
3 - 4You open your argument with a few accounts […] Several riders were killed on Wednesday's service, and they have lodged a formal complaint. Highwaymen stopped another train entirely […] Is this the sort of service the […] Railway wishes to offer […] its clients?
5 - 8You open your argument with a few accounts of recent incidents on the line. […] no one interested in shipping commercial goods will wish to commit their cargo to the train if it is at such a high risk of being stolen. Is this to be tolerated?

If Sinning Jenny is a board member:
