Mother-to-be rushed to hospital after train delay

AN ANXIOUS mother-to-be was at the centre of an emergency during a three-hour train delay on a mainline service yesterday.

Passengers on the Heuston-bound train dialled 999 after a young woman showed signs of going into labour.

An emergency ambulance crew from Dolphins Barn fire station provided assistance to the woman as the 10.45am out of Cork crawled into Dublin almost seven hours later at 17.23.
