The Emergency Response Unit of TfL was opened in May 1994 and has been providing resources to respond to an array of emergencies on TfL’s services and infrastructure ever since.

Due to site constraints we will be limited to 30 places so get your registration in as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
PPE Requirements
PPE will need to be worn for parts of the visit and, whilst ERU will provide coveralls and hi-vi vests it would be useful if you could bring your own safety boots. If you are unable to provide your own, please let us know as there will be a small amount available to borrow at the depot.
Women in Transport Members last did this visit in 2023 where we had members crawling under trains and observing demonstrations of the amazing services that ERU provide. Great fun was had by all so why not sign up for more of the same?
Access to the ERU depot at Acton is via the depot entrance on Bollo Lane, London, W3 8BZ.
This event is only open to Women in Transport members.
