Default Alton Towers accident and 999 calls

It's a damn site nearer manned emergency services than we are. I
should imagine that Ashbourne, Uttoxter, Cheadle have small manned
ambulance and fire stations. Stoke-on-Trent/Newcastle-under-Lyme is
only 12 miles away, those places will have all the toys.


1) the roads to Alton Towers are narrow and winding and will have been
full of cars containing people going to the park

2) they flew in an air ambulance. More than one, I think

3) once they get to the park, they have to navigate the park itself,
never mind the crowds, to get to the ride where the accident happened

27 minutes doesn't seem that bad to me, considering.
