(BBC) A senior officer has accepted he failed to make sure the emergency services were working together in the aftermath of the Manchester Arena attack.
Ch Insp Tony Lodge was based in British Transport Police’s (BTP) control room in London on the night of the bombing.
He told an inquiry into the attack that he had not noticed the ambulance and fire services had nominated different rendezvous points to his own force.
One of his jobs was to “spot any gaps” in BTP’s response, the inquiry heard.
Twenty-two people were killed and hundreds more injured when Salman Abedi detonated a bomb at the end of an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May 2017.
