999 response through London with the help of a police motorbike escort. Fantastic job by the officer taking it upon himself to get this urgent heart transplant to the hospital on time by activating his lights and sirens and riding ahead to clear the path. - End of the transplant series with this company but i have some sneak peeks coming soon showing new content coming up.
@iTzCorey that looked like a pre-planned pickup of the transplant vehicle by the police escort through a known area of holdups. Through much practice and experience the MET tends to know where assists like that are needed.
Reminds me of the Dutch motorbike police, but they work as a team to clear the path ahead of the ambulance, and it's planned. I drive the A40 into London often, but never that far. Interesting to see how the traffic disappears after the Police bike quits.
Love to see emergency services helping each other out when required. Massive respect to that officer who probably could see the ambulance stuck in traffic ahead.
Have you ever seen Police Stop The Liver Run ? - (46 mins uncut version) - A high speed Escort from Essex through central London - It is from the 1980s but is probably the best convoy video released in the UK with lots of speed and wrong side of the road driving - well worth a watch Edit - Available on YT uploaded by Jack Wain
@gdhukLONDON I've viewed that Emergency Run too. It was a Heart that had been flown into Stansted or a nearby airfield and the Met Police were tasked with getting it to a hospital in West London's Gloucester Road where a Patient was being prepped to receive that organ. It was a time critical trip across almost the whole of London! In the related comments with that video, it was said the Heart was delivered with minutes to spare and a motorcycle Cop was treated for exhaustion after such an intensive stressful experience!
Great work by the escort, keeping the changes of direction as smooth as possible and not weaving between lanes constantly. Big difference between what the bike can do and what the ambulance can.
3:35 great thinking by the driver. Noticed someone mention red lights but i would happily run one for a heart transplant as my aunty needed one last year so this run means a lot to me.
No i will never jump a red light happy to sit with a cop car behind. But unlike met police it would crusify me to hold up a fire engine ambulance. But it's not worth the risk to your licence to move remember to many stories of ppl getting points for moving for a ambulance even thou u can see the reason on the picture
Well you are a silly person then. If you were to kill someone else by driving your vehicle through a red light - you would go to prison. The *ONLY* time you can drive through a red light is if a police officer in uniform stands in the junction and takes control of it by directing traffic, then if you do cause serious injury or death, you have a defence in Law. The motorbike rider, who was showing no skill at all in that video, wanted to, he could stand and direct traffic. Many will not as they don't want the blame, so leave the emotional blackmail to the drivers. I refuse to move across a red light, it is for the emergency service driver to GO AROUND me or WAIT. As tough as that might sound, you can not be prosecuted for obeying a traffic signal, nor charged with obstruction as some people claim. There has never been a single case of it. Sitting behind someone that can not move and keeping sirens on or using horns is not going to achieve anything. Where do emergency service drivers think all that traffic is going to vanish to. If the poor road design prevents the emergency service driver from moving, that is something they need to complain to road planning departments about, or re-think where they are positioning emergency vehicles. My local City Centre had various road restrictions installed to disrupt drivers, high kerbs and narrow lanes were never discussed with emergency services. The local council said it is not for them to plan where services park their vehicles or how they attend incidents. They class them as normal road users. Many emergency services are still refusing to drive in empty bus lanes too, which is odd. All that space and they still want to force people out of the way. I will also not cross in to a yellow box or go in a bus lane as I will be fined and there is no way that ticket is ever cancelled. The Fire Service and Ambulance service looked at where all the calls were coming from at different times and moved vehicles around, so they only needed to travel a short distance, not miles across roads that were being restricted by poor road planners.
Excellent blue light run video & hats off to the Police motorcyclist who done a great job assisting you through the heavy traffic. Hope you got to say thanks to officer in person 👍
It is difficult when councils road planners are morons. They put high kerbs, narrow the lanes, fit underused bus and bike lanes and funnel traffic to deliberately restrict the flow and cause extra congestion. This also restricts emergency services. What emergency service drivers have to understand is that if there is a queue, people can not just move out of the way, so they will have to wait. All complaints should go back to the local Councils, using sirens and horns and shouting at drivers is of no use.
@@Bond2025 Absolutely; like the "cycle lanes" I referred to as "langlauf lanes" or "canoe lanes" depending on the weather, and as a reflection of how likely you were to find any of bicycles, canoeists or cross-country skiers actually using them!
There is so much that could be done. Lights that signal to clear a certain lane. Logic that allows emergency vehicles to override nearby traffic lights. The technology would be there, but it's not being used in any kind of intelligent way.
6:48 saw them coming so decided to just cut across the clear lane? some drivers are clueless and why blue light aware should be taught on driving tests.
@iTzCorey omg that's amazing and thanks for the great video as per I always enjoy them as I'm training for blue light response and I tell you it's hard then people realise as your constraint so high thanks all blue light emergency responder
Not sure how it works down in London, but a car/truck going into a bus lane to make way for any emergency vehicle can still be done by those fixed cameras; which is a bizarre thing. I know someone who got done, tried to fight it, but was told is an unfightable offence.
The transplant driver needed nerves of steel and reaction times of an airline pilot. It's always surprising how many drivers don't know how to make way.
6:16 Why the police man with the motorcycle not ride on the wrong side of the street where the street is empty? So you as ambulance vehicle have free way too? Curiously do you make off your sirene - so driver thinking it is no more emercency of course! 😮
Because there is a curb and fence separating the road buddy and there was no where for them to go without pushing too many cars through red lights, only time they could have gone onto the other side is at 5:40 but both lanes were blocked so they cut tones off and waited which sadly happens a lot with London traffic its a nightmare.
UA-cam stopped sending me notifications for your channel mate i thought you stopped uploading 😂so i will have to catch up on your last few uploads but how do i get to watch these early do i have to pay for membership?
Aha yeah your right ^ responder has had a few cars over the years but most were filmed in his 320d but your right this was filmed in his 335d so will correct this thanks.
Quite a few drivers ran reds but if a cop tells you to are you allowed? i know someone who got a ticket for running a red light for a fire engine before its pathetic to fine drivers for this unless they blatantly put others at risk by doing so.
If a uniformed officer tells you to run it then your fine as that officer is then managing that section of road and managing safety for it and i know this because my brother beat a ticket by explaining a uniformed officer got out and told him to move.
Are other drivers that STUPID , if they left a good gap to the one in front they COULD MOVE OVER , even to the curb on both sides of the road allowing 999 good gap . Frustrating seeing drivers just sit there or being TOLD , MOVE BACK !!!

Finally the convoy video you was talking about! best run footage you can get.
I mix them up so each week its a different response because people like different ones etc.
I love watching your videos!!! congratulations on hitting another milestone.
Thank you
2:26 beautiful lighting setup
Respect to all the Londoners who did what they could to get the response vehicles through the traffic faster,

Yeah, but not all drivers responded quickly enough.
Just want to say this new thumbnail is much better than the other ones and congrats on 11k subs 🎉
Great driving and team work
There is so much that could be done. Lights that signal to clear a certain lane. Logic that allows emergency vehicles to override nearby traffic lights. The technology would be there, but it's not being used in any kind of intelligent way.
Interesting take.
That technology is expensive, councils and emergency services don't have the money.
6:48 saw them coming so decided to just cut across the clear lane? some drivers are clueless and why blue light aware should be taught on driving tests.
I have to know was this pre planned or spontaneous because if it was spontaneous great on him for helping and a great job both of you
Seems the officer took it upon himself to help according to comment pinned.
The officer decided to help the transplant driver when he saw the traffic so not planned.
@iTzCorey omg that's amazing and thanks for the great video as per I always enjoy them as I'm training for blue light response and I tell you it's hard then people realise as your constraint so high thanks all blue light emergency responder
Thank you and good luck.@@connorwilliams4859
Love a convoy run
The fact the black Range Rover driver had to be told to move back. Couldn't work it out for him/herself !!
People react differently to sudden incidents and some just freeze like that person did so don't be too harsh on him/her.
Even I can have panick situation in the middle of the road if this happened to me don't blame the driver
Look up liver run. It features Rover SD1 POLICE CARS on a liver transplant emergency delivery.
Not sure how it works down in London, but a car/truck going into a bus lane to make way for any emergency vehicle can still be done by those fixed cameras; which is a bizarre thing. I know someone who got done, tried to fight it, but was told is an unfightable offence.
Did the same run with my late daughter in an ambulance.
My condolences.
The transplant driver needed nerves of steel and reaction times of an airline pilot. It's always surprising how many drivers don't know how to make way.
I'm a pilot and a former emergency driver

When will the new content shorts be released?
I have two sneak peek shorts for 11k subs that i'll be posting soon maybe a week.
@@iTzCorey Nice 👍
New thumbnail layout? prefer the other ones as it shows what service it’s with and great driving by both responders here 💯 .
Only for limited editions as this is the last video on transplant runs with this company sadly.
Oh okay 👌
2018/19? I saw an iPhone XS ad
Would imagine most runs are filmed some time ago as most trusts don’t allow them to be uploaded but posting them a while after they won’t care.
Can you see a car reg later than 2012?
UA-cam stopped sending me notifications for your channel mate i thought you stopped uploading 😂so i will have to catch up on your last few uploads but how do i get to watch these early do i have to pay for membership?
Add me on discord that's in my banner and i send the video out unlisted for a few hours before making it public.
Nice. This isn't a 320d though - think from memory this particular car was a 335d, but it may be a 330d.
Aha yeah your right ^ responder has had a few cars over the years but most were filmed in his 320d but your right this was filmed in his 335d so will correct this thanks.
@@iTzCorey Nice one! That 6 cylinder engine stands out a mile off.
Almost the liver run
Hi mate, I noticed on your recent short you show a rrv unit with two tones. Have you got the full run?
Just edited two sneak peak shorts for the new police and ambulance content coming soon bud which includes the vehicle from the close call short 👍
Quite a few drivers ran reds but if a cop tells you to are you allowed? i know someone who got a ticket for running a red light for a fire engine before its pathetic to fine drivers for this unless they blatantly put others at risk by doing so.
