No, that was several years ago. Things are much worse with H&S now,

I know what Tubelines is, I just didn't understand how "ERU out"
applies to Tubelines in the context of the current derailment on the

The ERU will attend the incident.

As an aside Metronet still havent been paid for the extra work
following the Chancery Lane derailment.
