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.
@@TheArmouredArmadillo I have watched the TfL (was then Tube Lines) Emergency Response Unit teams practicing at their Stratford Market Depot base. Fair play to them, no way I fancy crawling under a train to rescue/recover someone.
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
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
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.

London is certainly resourced well with emergency services.
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.
People a of attention
Why can't they put the poor victim in just one ambulance?

Because you'd be whinging if just one ambulance showed up.
Did that happened at Greenford??
Yes, Greenford Station
Nice mate

Liked and shared
Great vid 😂
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.
Hello
wheres the train ?
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…
Location?
