Lifesaving defibrillators are being rolled out across railway stations in the North West to help save people in cardiac arrest.

The £134,000 investment by Network Rail and train operator Northern will create a network of 90 stations all with the vital medical kit.

Every minute that passes by until a defibrillator is used reduces someone’s chances of survival.

In the next phase of the rollout, 40 defibrillators will be installed across the North West by specialist suppliers Aero healthcare.

Blackburn is the first Lancashire station to benefit, with Bamber Bridge, Poulton-le-Fylde, St-Annes-on-the-Sea, Lytham, Leyland and Kirkham & Wesham stations set to follow over the coming weeks.
