Curious trucks with large police escort
Discussion
I've seen previous threads like this and thought 'so what, don't be nosy' - however having seen this event first hand today, and being bored sat in traffic, I am can't help being curious (and nosy)...
A34 oxford Southbound late afternoon today - getting on for 10 police liveried LR discovery's very spread out (some could have been range rovers); 2 articulated box trucks - both a single dull brown/olive-ish colour and their cabs with security-cash-van type side windows (partly blanked off and presumably not opening); then further back and spread out approx 3 police mini-buses; 2 I think prisoner transport type blue rigid box trucks (could be they are mobile office/incident room, not actually moving people). Somewhere way way back was a drab olive heavy recovery truck.
Traffic was heavy and stop-start in both directions - and therefore a 4 of the LRs created a small sterile area in front of and behind the artics. However all the other vehicles after those 6 were just mixed in with the stationary traffic and not together.
No standard RPU cars (that I could see) and no motorcycles (that I noticed).
Just curious as to what it would have been - the LRs including livery didn't look like typical oxfordshire RPU fleet to me.
From the artics, the sterile gap, and the recovery truck I was thinking nuclear - however the mini-bus etc doesn't feel essential- and sterile area followed by everyone else just spread out was unusual.
I'm out of the traffic now - but still curious.

"“At a minimum, we need to know if and exactly how we can begin to protect ourselves and our children from the alpha emitting plutonium and uranium particles"
What you have to do Philip is stand behind a piece of paper. Yup one single sheet of paper is quite enough to stop those nasty Alpha particles you seem so worried about........
