Life-saving defibrillators are set to be installed at train stations including Morecambe, Carnforth and Arnside in the coming months.
It’s part of plans by the train operator Northern to install around 60 at stations across the North West.
Every defibrillator has step-by-step, spoken word instructions built-in to it which explain how to use it on someone in an emergency.
Computers inside the defibrillators work to analyse a person’s heart rhythms to find out if an electric shock is needed. Electrodes then automatically deliver the shock if required.
All of the life-saving units have been added to the national register and training will be offered by the local ambulance service to station staff along with local communities.
Tricia Williams, chief operating officer at Northern, said: “Our 187 defibrillators are a huge benefit to both our customers and the communities we serve, as they are all positioned in public places, where anyone can use them.
“The installation of 60 more defibrillators could help save even more lives. We plan to continue to introduce this equipment at even more of our stations.”
