If there was a bomb between carriges (not saying there is) how would the passangers get out? How about via the car end door at the opposite end to where the bomb went off?

My mistake . What i meant to say is on the carriages . In peak hour . I\s there any safety features on a tube train or any Lu train to evacuate the train an an emergency like that.

This has sadly already happened and many customers were able to leave the train. The train can be left in an emergency by walking through to the next car(s) then to the Train Operator's cab and onto the track.
For a stalled train however, another one can be brought up behind and people walked through that to the platform - if it's near enough.

It would never be safe for customers just to walk from a train down the tunels without the power being discharged first then the driver makes anouncements via the pa system which is battery operated to get customers to move down the train to the next carriage until the reach the cab then they have to go down the staires at the front of the train and make their way to the platform

you can never plan ahead for a situation like that as you dont know what different impacts are produced....

True, true. You cant stop something that you don't know about.

It may not be entirely safe, but if the train is on fire then it might be the lesser of the two evils to take your chances with the live rails. Really it is only for extreme emergencies.

Of course the TC can be discharged by the driver shorting out the tunnel telephone wires, so that would reduce lots of the danger.
There's a whole section of the LU rulebook dedicated to evacuation - it's like all other railway evacuation situations, it's likely people will be safer on the train unless there's a *big* hazard there.

The driver has several ways to switch off the live rails.

I didn't know that. I thought that you had to ring/call main controll Ideally you do. But if you can't make contact with the controller then there are 2 ways a driver can discharge traction current himself in a tunnel.
