Police radio frequency going underground
IN TIMES GONE BY if you had the sneaky suspicion that someone was following you in the Tube Station, who you gonna call? Well not the police, as up until now their radio sets didn’t cover London's Underground rail network.
All that is behind us now as all 125 below ground London Underground (LU) stations will provide the coverage needed for the Airwave police radio network to work efficiently.
This matter has been one waiting to be cleared up since the July 7th Tube bombings back in 2007 – it was clear then and has been clear ever since that this lack of communication is one of serious concern.
Spokestube Tim O’Toole says, "LU and the Home Office together with partners had the foresight to fund works to facilitate the link-up between Airwave and our new radio system prior to the Airwave contract being signed because of the benefits we knew it would deliver.”
While the Police minister Vernon Coaker said on his way to see the system in action that, "Crime is down on the Underground and with the rollout of Airwave, passengers can feel even more confident that every effort is being made to keep them safe as they travel around the capital."
Well thankfully this system should work, the only mystery is why it has taken them since 2007’s attacks to sort it out. μ

Margaret, for your information, there has been NO link found between microwave antennas and cancer etc.
Besides, the radio active waves radiated from these masts is negligible and cannot do any serious damage.
The levels of radiation are constantly checked for safety and if it is found that the levels are too high, it is closed down and examined.
Aaron,
The Underground still has its own system which works! If and when there is an incident, the Emergency Services will use their Tetra equipment underground.
"Walkie Talkies were radio waves, which do not penetrate living beings. Microwave radiation is attracted to every living (water-based) thing.
Tetra will be emitting MICROWAVE radiation continuously and not just when there is an incident.
Please take time to read the articles I mentioned previously.
Try looking up "Microwave Radiation" followed by any illness you care to read about, e.g. cancer, leukaemia,obesity,aggression, etc.
Margaret.... What's so bad about TETRA? They've had radio underground for years so I don't see how it makes any difference. Furthermore, what about the 3K of left-over energy hitting the planet from the big-bang, surely this does more damage than some walkie talkies?
Clearly you need to stop worrying.
At what cost to everybody's wellbeing?
We now have the whole of the London Underground irradiated with microwaves. The system is TETRA, the most aggressive technology, which emits radiation 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. I hope the Rail Unions take note when sickness levels increase amongst rail staff.
Members of the public cannot link to TETRA, so it is not going to be as great as they are trying to tell us.
Read Tetrawatch and B.Trower's Confidential Report for the Police Federation. If you live near a TETRA mast, as we do, you will shudder at this news.
The bombings were in 2005, not 2007.

I wonder if he meant to say that "crime has decreased on the underground", or was he just pointing at that it's a good place to get mugged?
Didn't they?
