Travel Status Ratings (Histalpol)

Travel Status Ratings is Histalpol's national security alert system. Created in 1972 after the Bloody Friday attack by the Provisional IRA with an attack consisting of 26 bombs killing 11 and injuring more than a hundred, the attack caused Histalpol to create this alert system to avoid an attack like that occurring during the Decades of Suspension in which organised crime groups blackmailed money out of the government and major companies by bombings at government buildings and services as well as stores. It as since been ebbing up and down the scale but has reached it's top level of 5* on 4 occasions: in 1977 after mass bombings killed 164 at station, buses, trains, tunnels and bridges crippling transport, 2001 after the September 11 attacks, 2005 after the 7 July 2005 London bombingsand in 2010 after an attack on Bastilia International Airport which killed 16 people.
