Bus Use in London Emergency
In message , the new
avenger writes Part of the duties of Centrecomm, the Transport for London bus Control Centre, involve coordinating bus operations and liaison with the emergency services and local authorities in any major incident in the Capital. There are very comprehensive emergency procedures under which service buses can be commandeered for removal of casualties and for the transport of persons involved in the aftermath. Centrecomm is at the heart of these activities. That's good, sensible and reassuring to hear. I've just never heard of it actually being *done* before. Has it been? And - of course - best wishes to all those involved, both the casualties and those who swung into action to help them. -- Ian Jelf, MITG Birmingham, UK Registered Blue Badge Tourist Guide for London and the Heart of England http://www.bluebadge.demon.co.uk |
