About

Public transport networks are susceptible to a range of incidents, which can impact service and need to be prepared for and managed. From accidents to weather events to terrorist attacks, incidents can range from the relatively minor localised routine emergency to the full-scale crisis and everything in between.  Planning and practicing response is sound practice to ensure business continuity and a resilient network. Training is essential in order for staff to have the skills necessary for the issues they face. And when something happens, a coordinated and well-managed response is essential. The aim of this training programme is to provide participants with the necessary knowledge and tools to create or benchmark their emergency preparedness and response plans. The programme includes case studies from experienced networks, as well as a table-top exercise in emergency response.
