Policy is to stop the train at the first place that is accessible to ambulances, usually the next station.
I suspect they fear that if the train stops / breaks down / is blocked away from such a place, that the outcome for the passenger will be far worse.

thanks.. Yeah I was there on the same carriage. It didn;t look good. I was just wondering if anyone had spoken to the nurses from yesterday and heard if he was recovering or not.
The ambulance took an absolute age to get there, definitley agree it would have been better to get him to Heuston and then to James'. if anyone hears will you post it here please... |

The time he spent in the ambulance is time he was being treated or at least assessed. Staying on the train would delay that happening.

The standard practice is summon help at the nearest station.
Its easy say it would be faster hold off till Heuston, that runs the risk of further issues if something goes wrong on the train and assumes James would be on call at the time in question and that an ambulance would be waiting in Heuston on arrival.

Thanks for the update. Thats pretty scary, I was wondering why he was taken off in a chair rather than a stretcher.
