The same as almost anywhere else - the emergency services. Do we really need nannying on the trains? What do other European countries do (apart from having much better train systems)? |

I don't know which countries or train companies have driver-only trains, but I believe at least one conductor on a train is necessary. The driver is driving and passengers have no access to him in his cab. The conductor is a public representative of the company/system, and is there to maintain order and to help with situations. If a child on the bus I drive had a 'medical incident' I would be prosecuted for not attempting to assist them, but just phone for an ambulance and stand around idly whilst waiting for the ambulance to arrive from 32 miles away. Getting rid of conductors on trains adds to the unemployment queue and, I think, a general detrimental effect to the whole of society. And this is purely to increase profits to the likes of Richard Branson who are already rolling in it. Obviously the law in Finland may be different. Anyway, they are not getting rid of the second person as I understand it, they are just downgrading the role a bit. Perhaps we should all have to have conductors on our boats just in case there is a medical issue? |

I'm sure as a helicopter pilot, you would have to be schooled in First Aid for carrying passengers? Would you have assisted or just phoned for an ambulance/the Coastguard (if plunged into the sea)? I just cannot see anything wrong with having conductors on trains, in fact I think they should be better trained than wot they probably are now. Barely. I think we covered CPR theory and were supposed to know the contents of the first aid kit. There are two pilots for the purposes of flying the helicopter, not so that one can be a nanny. There is no room in the back for any jiggery pokery anyway, and as for plunging into the sea, again the pax were better trained and it was every man for himself as far as I was concerned. |

All dependent on what one was flying of course. I used to fly a 412 by myself with an abundance of room in the back. |

The Yellow Bird also had plenty of room, even if they were ancient!

But if you were by yourself, there would be no pax to require assistance and anyway, who would fly whilst you 1st aided the phantom pax? <confused>. Anyway, 19 pax in a super Puma and there isn't room for the pax, never mind Nursey! |
