That this House notes that 18 November 2012 marked the 25th anniversary of the King's Cross Fire where 31 people lost their lives at King's Cross underground station; believes that the tragedy then and today's increasing passenger numbers and constant terrorist threat, demonstrate that it is essential for the underground to be properly staffed;opposes any proposals to de-staff stations and introduce automated trains; and supports the retention of the safety regulations, including minimum staff and training levels which were introduced in the aftermath of the King's Cross tragedy.
