Father ‘on cloud nine’ after baby born on rush-hour train
Allan Stanley, 21, was travelling back to his mother’s home with her and his partner Sonia Banks, 22, when the contractions started. Moments later, on Thursday night’s 18:18 London Victoria to Maidstone East service, Banks gave birth to a “perfectly healthy” 6lb 13oz baby called Phoebe.
Luckily a midwife, a nurse, and a police officer, who were all off-duty, were on board the Southeastern service to help with the birth.
