Quote Paramedics stop train to help woman with broken ankle A woman who broke her ankle in Solihull has had a train stopped for her by West Midlands Ambulance Service so she could get to hospital. Paramedics were called out to Earlswood at around 2.15pm this afternoon after receiving reports that a woman had become injured while walking with a group of friends in the woods. A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: Due to the location of the incident and the rough terrain, the quick thinking paramedic liaised with the railway and plans were put into place for the next passing train to stop in the woods to make a special pick-up. The woman and ambulance crew travelled to Earlswood Station to an awaiting ambulance where she was conveyed on to her next stop; Alexandra Hospital.^ Title: Re: Paramedics stop train to help woman with broken ankle - Solihull, 4 May 2014 Post by: SDS on May 05, 2014, 21:53:19 Notwork Fail managers prob passed the delay mins onto the ToC as an unauthorised station stop.
