Default 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.
