No, that was several years ago. Things are much worse with H&S now,
it'll probably be shut until 2025.

I know what Tubelines is, I just didn't understand how "ERU out"
applies to Tubelines in the context of the current derailment on the
MetroNet line.

The ERU will attend the incident.

following the Chancery Lane derailment.
