Indeed he is a hero. Although traumatised I hope he will find solace in the thought that he did what was humanly right. However, it does make you think, would I have stayed or fled? I would like to think I would have done the right thing and helped but maybe I too would have been so terrified that I took flight. mmmm, one of the BIG questions that these scenarios put to you.

Tim Coulson is one very brave man and indeed a hero.

It takes a very strong person not to panic when something like that happens, he genuinely gave help and comfort to those poor suffering people without a thought for his own safety.

For all his bravery he still has to face the demons of the carnage on that fateful day three years on...

Yes, he is certainly is a real Hero..

Re: Angels of Egdware Rd


My neighbour who commutes to London every day was on the Edgware Road train that was blown up. Thankfully she was OK, but I know she's wracked with guilt daily about the people that were not so lucky. There are so many people that just were so selfless on that day.

I didn't see the programme but I have read and seen previous reports of true bravery way above what one would expect.
