Just a quick update to say I’ll be somewhat MIA for the next few days as I scramble to get everything done at work and sorted before I leave for Ireland on Thursday night for a long weekend trip. I’ll be twittering in updates throughout my trip but until then, I’ll leave you with this charming anecdote.
TRAINS came to a halt on the Central Line this morning after a woman went into labour.
The service stopped at 8.34am when the woman started having contractions on a westbound train at St Paul’s station.
A TFL spokswoman said: “London Underground staff attended to her until London Ambulance Service personnel arrived on the scene.
“She was removed from the station to a waiting ambulance in a wheelchair.”
Service with delays was resumed on the line at 8.55am.
Lauren Brewster, 23 from Buckhurst Hill was waiting for the tube this morning when she heard the announcement.
She said: “The trains were delayed and there was an announcement saying a woman had given birth on the tube.
“It was quite funny and everyone was looking at each other, unsure if we had heard correctly.”
Of course. I knew I had forgotten one of the reasons I’m late for work…
