Yes they did. Even to simulated victims.
But let me say it again, there was no drill or exercise on that day. The guy states that they are a consultancy and they were 'planning' for an exercise that would cover such a bombing only the night before, not actually running one.
As for response time, the Whitechapel firestation is literally round one corner from East Aldgate tube, the one you guys saw 'live' on CNN. They could have walked with their kit.
As for ambulances, their is the East London hospital about 1 mile up the road from the station on the same road. A little further up from that, also on the same road is the Queen Mary Westfield hospital. All they did was shut the road and ferry people in commandeerd buses.
London has a mojor hospital pretty much next to each major rail station. A lot of this is from the Blitz whereafter the govt realised the need to strategically place and disperse service facilities.
