This from the BBC...
Staff at a rail company gave no medical assistance to a commuter who collapsed, it has emerged.
The man collapsed three weeks ago at St Albans station on a line into London run by First Capital Connect.
But bystanders were forced to give medical help. The company later said even if staff were trained, they were only permitted to help other employees.
Eye wonders whether there is a chapter on rendering assistance to stricken fare payers in Sir Moir's lovely book?
"Moving people is what we do best" claims First.
Perhaps not.
UPDATE: This from the First Capital Connect press office...
I think the piece above about FCC may need a bit of first aid of its own.
It was an FCC staff member who initially was so concerned about the customer's state of health that he encouraged him to leave a train early at St Albans so he could get assistance. He should be commended not derided.
When the customer subsequently collapsed, staff and other passengers made sure the individual was as comfortable as possible while we called an ambulance and made an announcement for any doctor that may have been on the station at the time.
Staff trained in first aid can give assistance to customers, but there was not one available at the time so the guys on the ground did exactly what they're trained to do - they called the paramedics who arrived within 7 minutes.
Having said that, we know we're not perfect so our MD has met the lady who made the complaint to see how we can do things better.
