   Usually ‘RendezVous Point’ . Often used around airfields for a ‘known’ meeting place for emergency services and the like in an emergency. They are also used in roadworks and on the railways for the same purpose. In case of an accident on the railway, it is much easier to say ‘Ambulance to the RVP on the A5 north of Weedon’ and then take the ambulance to the specific site round country lanes, than try and describe where an accident is.
