Fastest route to a person

1. If you're in danger now, call 999. If you can't speak, press 55 when asked
2. Have a short summary of your problem ready, with any letters or reference numbers
3. Lines are busiest first thing: if you can't get through, try mid-afternoon
4. Ask what to do next and write it down

Menu shortcuts change often. Tell us if one stops working.
