We need a call number for minor emergencies like that. Like what: I've missed my last bus home. Somewhere not yet reaching the call the police and the Samaritans. Or a redirection service. There's a medical helpline that puts you through to a nurse. I thougt it was 101 in the UK but it is simpler than that, like 999 it is the same number three time, just one, not once but three times.
London transport ought to have one for missed the last train, connecting you with all night buses, time and distance to where to catch an all night bus, nearly stations with later trains, first morning train and waiting room, nearby all night cafe or kiosk and 24 hour toilet, and taxi, grab or bicycle hire. Plus bigger signs telling you the time of the last train and second to last at every station. Also the vet and animal lovers local neighbourhood watch and help so that animal lovers can save spiders, toads etc.
What to do when arriving in another country or planning an outing or trip whether overseas or local.
