Bus Use in London Emergency

The use of ordinary service buses to transport the injured in London this morning appears to have been a widespread and planned-for action. I have to say, I hope they weren't used to transport the survivors of the bus bomb. How traumatic to be packed on to ANOTHER bus after that. |

Unfortunately, its hard to observe such niceties at times like these. With the Ambulance Service at full stretch, it is necessary to use any alternative transport for walking wounded (so that emergency vehicles can be concentrated on stretcher patients needing advanced life support). The LAS will be utilising as many PTS (outpatient) vehicles where they can. But buses are ideal and already in the areas affected so time can be saved. The buses may also have been moving people who are uninjured and not directly involved: ie those caught up in the disruption. In situations such as this, pragmatism has to win out over sentimentality I'm afraid. Simon |
