A child was born on a packed train in the south-east this week, after a woman went into labour on the service from London Victoria.<\/p>\n

The lady in question welcomed baby Phoebe into the world at West Malling station in Kent, where the train was delayed for the medical procedure to be completed.<\/p>\n

Minutes after the new arrival, train operator Southeastern took to Twitter to confirm both mother and baby were doing fine and that a bunch of flowers will be sent as congratulations.<\/p>\n

It is still not known exactly who assisted the pregnant woman, with the train company confirming it would normally be the guard's responsibility, but in such a situation he would almost certainly have made an announcement to ask for help.<\/p>\n
