Violent crime has risen nearly 12% on the UK's railways - despite a fall in the number of other crimes, police say.

Many of the 9,748 attacks on passengers and staff involved alcohol, said British Transport Police.
It said it had "serious concerns" about plans to extend licensing hours as it launched its annual report.
