“Mock emergency to close train station”
April 16, 2007 - 2:40PM
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Authorities will stage a mock emergency at Melbourne’s Parliament Station tonight to test security on the city’s public transport system.
Victorian Transport Minister Lynne Kosky said the drill at the underground station was the fourth in a series of exercises aimed at preparing for security threats.
“This is really to test our security capacity,” she told reporters.
“It’s to make sure that should anything ever happen, and we hope that it doesn’t, in the rail system, that we’ll be absolutely prepared and all of the emergency services are working together.”
The operation, named Exercise Windsor, was not being staged in response to any specific threat but was part of Project Trident, which focuses on key Victorian infrastructure, Ms Kosky said.”
