Ambulances And HART Responding From Sandwell Ambulance Hub - West Midlands Ambulance Service

Great video . Those Ambulance Hubs look like faceless , characterless buildings , not like the Ambulance Stations of old .

The livery is quite good except from the rear: I think the chevrons are too narrow for clarity from, say, motorway distances. They need to be twice that width, otherwise they merge to a grey mess from a distance and fail to do the job intended. The warning light systems are a different story: dreadful! They'd be better served if they adopted the Victoria (Australia) warning light schemes, with all lights flashing together in both phasing and colour. Much easier for other drivers to identify and track the ambulance without trying to figure out from the self-ambiguating system of multiple flash rates and phasings. The lamps in these arrays are mutually distracting, increase observing driver workload, particularly in poor light and disrupt tracking and distance estimation, also, particularly in poor light.
