They decided that they were not being asked to take responsibility, or maybe the bus planning manager was being asked to take responsibility for planning the bus diversions, and the council officer was being asked to close the roads, and the transport for London people were being asked to sort out the Underground.

Quizá se le pedía al encargado del planeamiento de los autobuses que organizara el desvío del recorrido, al funcionario municipal que bloqueara el acceso a las calles, y a la gente del área de transporte que organizara el metro de Londres.
