Trains and turbines
Whilst gpoing over the bridge me and MR pretty frequently talk crap about how we'll one day visit Littlebrook B power station, nice art deco, industrial etc. Never got round to it. Recently however, we saw a post about soe training going on in the turbine hall. literally daily I was sent it on Whatsapp or Facebook, and I don't know why, but I ignored it thinking it would be too hard etc. Eventually I realized where the trains actually were and MR gave me a push and we ended up on the bridge en route to Littlebrook once more. Definitely a bit different. This is harder than the actual power station??? Security logic = none.
Hope you enjoy, one of the only times fake blood looks good. :P
What's the train disaster?
So, London Firebregade, Travel for London and London ambulance/paramedic service got together late February to mock up a London Tube station that had collapsed. A whole 8 carriage district line c stock train was chopped up and tangled in the turbine hall alongside fragments of concrete, Ticket gates various hardcore and sea containers to create a real life disaster. The following 4 days they had a crew of actors with fake blood and props imitate a real rescue mission.
"Emergency crews have responded to the scene of a major disaster on the Tube as part of another day of a training exercise testing their response to a mass-casualty incident.
Hundreds of volunteer 'victims' covered in fake blood and with a variety of severe injuries were spread across a disused power station in Dartford, Kent, for the third of a four-day exercise involving firefighters, police officers and ambulance staff.
A total of 2,000 volunteers are involved over the course of the exercise, which involved recreating an entire Tube station emergency, with London rescue crews joined by representatives from Italy, Hungary and Cyprus.
The event, the largest ever disaster training exercise carried out in Europe, has involved thousands of tonnes of rubble and seven Tube carriages at a reconstructed Waterloo station.
Called Unified Response, the exercise took a year to plan and was coordinated by the London Fire Brigade working with more than 70 partner agencies including local councils, utility companies and specialist search and rescue teams."

Fire alarms were on the go, we weren't sure why. Something seriously dark about seeing this though, it may have been a mock up, but fire alarms ringing like hell whilst walking down LU corridor to a train covered in blood and hair was pretty surreal...
Cantine?
DEAD
For reals
