Baby Born On Rush-Hour Train Journey
A baby was born on a train during rush-hour yesterday.
Mari-anne Stanley, the baby's paternal grandmother, and the woman were travelling home when she went into labour on the 18:18 London Victoria to Maidstone East service on Thursday.
The baby girl, who has been Phoebe, was delivered at West Malling.
Ms Stanley said: "The train was stopped at West Malling to let passengers off and I ran off to the driver telling him we needed to not go any further and call an ambulance because she was giving birth.
"We would like to thank everybody involved yesterday. We'd also like to apologise to all the passengers who were delayed but the circumstances were such that we simply could not go any further.
"When we were taken off to go to the ambulance there were people on the platform who gave us a rapturous round of applause and cheered.
"Passengers were lining the platform. It was a fantastic reception."
