1) Can you tell me how many incidents of racist language used were reported on the tube network in 2016? 2) Can you tell me how many of these incidents were reported to the police? 3) Can you please give me any detail of most common racist language used? Was it, for example, against a particular religion, or persons from a particular ethnic background? 4) Can you please give me the same data for 2015?
