  • Just three weeks before the first terrorist attack on the Tube, London Underground carried out its annual major training exercise to test the capabilities of all the emergency services if a serious incident were to occur. The annual London underground gardening competition also takes place putting the gardening skills of the stations against each other.
    For the first time in its history, London Underground has opened its doors to record the day-to-day life of its 16,500 staff who work across a network of 275 stations and 507 trains running on over 300 miles of track. Every year more than one billion people use The Tube that's 3 million journeys a day; commuters, holiday-makers, day-trippers, businessmen and women, students, overseas visitors.
    This series goes behind the scenes to tell the story of some of the dedicated and colourful characters who work for LU, doing a difficult job under often challenging and stressful circumstances.

      The Sons of Epsilon This show was filmed in the mid 2000’s before Geoff and Vicki were UA-camrs. Can’t you not see the quality and also the UA-cam channel that uploaded this did not make this show They just brought the rights to it. Some people are so daft

    Hold up, so the ERU doesn’t even have any blue lights, or sirens?
    How do they expect them to arrive quickly to an emergency incident without having to wait for a police escort?

    • @rxss6154
      @rxss6154 5 років тому +21

      Its because of all the extra hassle registering a vehicle as an emergency service vehicle with the DVLA, plus all the extra training involved. (You need to get your blues and too’s certificate which can take some time, plus it costs a lot of money to train someone), in the end it just isn’t worth it. My sister used to work for the MET and she wasn’t even blues and too’s trained. They train the bare minimum.
      They could put coloured flashing lights other than blue or green (eg yellow) to show the importance (kind of like Doctor’s cars with green lights) but they can’t break any speed limits or rules, plus people don’t have to move out of the way for you. But most likely if it was really serious, like you said, they will get a police escort

    • @cesariojpn
      @cesariojpn 5 років тому +22

      Since the video was made and as a result of inquiries of the 7/7 bombings, some ERU response units now fall under the purview of the BTP. Easier to assign a BTP officer and slap BTP livery onto vehicles than going thru the hassle of going thru the registration process with certifying the ERU staff for Emergency Service Driving. www.ukemergency.co.uk/wx07-nwb-this-mercedes-truck-is-marked-in-british-transport-police-livery/

    That drill was way too calm. It needed more screaming, maybe some fake blood, a fog machine (for smoke), way more noise than what's going on. Passengers aren't going to be that calm and quiet, and it would be a lot more hectic.

      The victims are volunteer members of the public not trained actors, they do their best to act as they think they will in the situation, if the scenario involved a fire then i am sure a different set up would have been done, this one did not, i aggree with you on the noise levels, also this was edited so its possible that some of the volunteers panic was removed.
