How do evacuations work?
When an evacuation is ordered, like at St Pancras, it means people are moved from a potentially dangerous area to a safe one. Station staff, police, and emergency services work together to guide people calmly and quickly. The aim is to minimise panic and ensure everyone's safety, allowing services to resume once the area is declared safe.
