Are you totally Thick?
If a person is taken ill, the emergency cord is usually pulled. The train then stops in a tunnel....Once the driver has found out what has happened, he has to get permission from the signaller to move the train into a station. While the train is on the move, the signaller then has to contact the emergency services. The train then arrives into the station & then has to wait for the emergency services to arrive. The person who has been taken ill is not allowed to be moved from the train until the doctor has seen them and ascertained what is wrong. if its safe to move the person from the train. then the train can continue its journey. Hence the delay!!
