Code amber alert (London Underground)
- Code amber alert (London Underground)
-
A code amber alert on the London Underground system requires all trains to go no further than the next station. The order stops the trains but permits the rapid evacuation of carriages and stations and the rerouting of passengers. A code amber alerts was issued in response to both the London bombings on 7 July and 21 July in 2005.[1]
A code red alert is an immediate stop order issued to all trains irrespective of their locations. This could result in getting passenger out from trains stopped away from platforms or part-way down tunnels. In these cases, special procedures would be required to evacuate the carriages when considering the presence of electrified rails in the tunnels.
