Approximately 5 years ago 2 elderly couple decided to end their lives exactly like this, in a village on the outskirts of Lincoln, nobody knew what was happening until 2 Air Ambulances circled above the incident and the traffic was being diverted from the scene, it's tragic for the train driver to have to face one victim but 2 is totally beyond conception, can't imagine even for the professional emergency service personnel to deal with the aftermath, day in day out they are always only a phone call away 24/7 god bless them and thank you seems to little to praise them
It's a specialist rfl emergency unit, staffed by tfl staff for use on the tube and other rail lines. Has specialist equipment in it, for example Jacks to raise trains up in confined spaces etc. The staff will probably have training the fire brigade don't as well, although I believe they do actually help in training the fire brigade now.
TfL ERU (Emergency Response Unit), they have a number of emergency lorries at depots around London. Some are driven by BTP officers and will have the blue lights. They respond to anything that affects the railway, from incidents such as the one in the video to broken rails, fallen trees etc. They are highly trained and carry equipment the LFB do not. Any incident that stops the trains running has a knock on effect on other parts of the line. Its imperative to get the trains running again as quick as possible as a lot of the time it will be in a tunnel section and you may have trains stuck in the tunnels with 100's of people on board.
Each depot has at least two lorries. One will be fitted with blue light capabilities and driven by a BTP officer. The lorry without blue lights is driven by TfL ERU staff.
Not all of the "ambulance" vehicles were ambulances. Some would be various Ambulance Officers to take command of the Ambulance Crews on scene. A couple were HART or Hazardous Area Response Team, whose job it is to basically deal with the victim whilst they are still in a hazardous location (ie under the train). And one or two would've been various levels of Paramedic training, i.e one who might be a Doctor as opposed to a paramedic (only certified Doctors can do certain things, eg administer specific drugs), or Senior Clinician or some other specialised training. There was actually only one normal Ambulance that I saw.
It's so sad that someone had to end up under a train their life must of been so bad to make them do that they couldn't be able to speak to someone. The poor train driver that this happened to and all the emergency personnel who had to deal with the incident 😞 that effects their life's
@@ashleyscottthomas6633 it's not just the train driver - if the train gets taken out of service it's the depot staff, maybe the infrastructure maintenance staff checking things over too are all affected
Near enough every deep level Tube station will have what is known as a suicide pit. Quite often someone who falls onto the track,whether intentional or not, will fall into the pit thus saving their life.
Blimey, when I worked in London in the 1980’s we managed with One ambulance, a Fire engine and if lucky the London Transport heavy rescue boys, and that was it. And it was not often we lost the victim.

2 pumps and an FRU from 2 separate stations on scene before any other emergency service vehicle, LFB don't mess about haha
Dy eefwrere Ty at tv
01:00 how did that Toyota Prius driver not see something weighing in the region of 15 tons eith blue lights on it?
that's just London drivers, they don't really give a fuck even if it's an emergency vehicle
@@ldus 😂😂 fair comment

London ain’t messing around when it comes to emergency services

Why is the TFL emergency vehicle not equipped with blue lights and sirens as other emergency vehicles are?
Only some are fitted with blue lights, and they can only be used for certain emergencies.
Because the archaic ruling on blue light use prevents them. They are NOT regarded as an emergency service ! !
Each depot has at least two lorries. One will be fitted with blue light capabilities and driven by a BTP officer. The lorry without blue lights is driven by TfL ERU staff.
it doesnt need them it gets an escort
it is. they need permission to use them on a case by case basis it might be they just weren't authorised for this particular incident.
Why can't they put the poor victim in just one ambulance?
Not all of the "ambulance" vehicles were ambulances. Some would be various Ambulance Officers to take command of the Ambulance Crews on scene.

Because you'd be whinging if just one ambulance showed up.
One victim...."MANY BODY PARTS "
Did that happened at Greenford??
Yes, Greenford Station
@@Xgameplayboxgameswhat happened?

certainly are
Good 👍
Probably the worst part of being in the emergency services
and train driver
Liked and shared
Was this a fatal or very serious injury, as the BTP "scrape up" unit was there
If it's one under, it'll be fatal for sure.
@@petercdowneynot necessarily unfortunately…
@@petercdowney not always fatal. I've had four as a Station Supervisor, two died and two had life changing injuries.
@@readie35 I see. I thought it was impossible to survive one under, given how heavy those trains are.

Great vid 😂
Nice mate

People a of attention
Location?
wheres the train ?
1:31
Nice Catches, however I do feel the title makes light of the situation a bit as it is someone’s worst day of their life.
Nice video though.
I agree
A 'One Under' is the common term used by staff and drivers on London Underground for decades.
.
@@jennythescouser still though mate. I mean this person could have been trying to end their life or may have just fallen under the tracks.
OMG
