Commuter emergency kit sales up
The kit, which fits in a backpack or handbag, contains a particle mask to filter out dust, a torch, whistle, water and antiseptic wipes. SurvivalBox.co.uk, the Surrey-based company which sells the packs on the internet, said its sales had risen by 150% in the past three weeks. The business was started by a survivor of the 11 September attacks. Several thousand more kits have been sold since the bombings in London, according to managing director Simon Johnson. He said: "People are buying the kits to reassure themselves about travelling on the underground. "Our customers want to demonstrate that they are not afraid. Having a commuter kit gives them the confidence to go back on the tube."
