    Extremely brave thing to do but it also raises the question. If he'd been armed could he have stopped the carnage?

    I believe PC Marques is a British Transport Police Officer, so although I can see the day coming that Police Officers will be armed , doubt it would extend to Transport Police?
    I don't see why not seeing as terrorists target transport systems.

    This man should be lauded and want for nothing for the rest of his days.

    It's truly humbling to know that men (and women) of his stature walk amongst us.

    BTP have a firearms unit just like the Met so see no reason why they wouldn't if it ever came to that.
