  9. Rescue capabilities on underground railways networks utilising the motorised rescue trolly

    The risk to life from a deliberate act within London's underground network is still a threat, to counter this in 2003/4 the LFB jointly developed equipment and procedures that would allow the rescue of people following a deliberate gas attack or similar on / in deep tube locations. The equipment & procedure was successfully used at Russell Sq on 7th July 2005. Does the LFB still have a capability on deep tube locations utilising the Motorised Rescue Trolly and Rescue and Recovery Team? Is the equipment ready for mobilisation ? Are staff still trained to move LUL trains in an emergency ? Are the aide memoirs still in using and kept up to date relevant to the new LUL rolling stock.
