"Life-saving devices to help heart attack victims are being installed on major NSW stations and long-haul trains after a successful trial. The rollout of more than 100 defibrillators, designed to be used by commuters and railway staff, comes after a life was saved during a trial of just five machines. NSW Premier Nathan Rees said the units were aimed to provide vital help during the 24 cases of heart attack on RailCorp platforms and trains recorded on average each year. They will be installed on the network's busiest stations including Central, Strathfield, Parramatta and Penrith, as well as in Newcastle, Maitland and Gosford. The defibrillators will also be available onboard CountryLink XPT and Xplorer trains." - 9NewsThursday, June 4, 2009
