Someone had what seemed like a panic attack (but may have been worse) on my train this morning as it got into lewisham.
Luckily someone got off with them and gave assistance but it made me question what I would do if they hadn’t got off as I’m not really sure. I suppose I could go on a first aid course to learn what to do in these situations but has anyone got any guidance?
I’d be stressed n’all travelling from Yorkshire to Lewisham on one of them trains.

With a panic attack there is not really much you can do apart from be caring and offer reassurance. The problem is some people haven't experienced panic attacks before and believe it to be a heart attack or something serious. Getting some fresh air, peace & quiet and a drink of water helps, so getting off a stinking Southeastern crap-wagon is a good shout!
Emergency services have successfully dealt with the incident between Slade Green and Dartford, allowing lines to reopen.
Whilst services recover, journeys between Dartford and Woolwich Arsenal / Bexleyheath / Sidcup may be cancelled, delayed or revised.
A normal service is expected to resume by 17:00.
What's happening? -------------------- There were reports earlier today of a fire under a train between Slade Green and Dartford. The Fire Brigade and Network Rail response staff have dealt with the fire, and the the affected train is now moving towards Dartford.
Got the High Speed from Strood this morning... Only the third stop as came from Maidstone yet was packed and had to stand.
Know its only a 35min journey yet thats crazy
I caught it from Ebbesfleet last week, I was only going to Statford International but when it pulled in I had to push my way in like getting on the Tube.
Spent the entire 11 minutes swaying in no-mans land with nothing to hold onto praying the train would not hit a bump or break suddenly.
Including parking it cost me £43.00 as well which was a joke, 11 minutes each way.

Oh my God, I am turning into Mr Largo
It doesn't take long for South Eastern Trains to turn even the most reasonable, mild-mannered gentleman into a bitter, hate-filled psycho.
@cantersaddick is a perfect case in point. Have a read through his posts from this time last year - polite, enthusiastic, committed to finishing his degree and looking forward to embarking on his new career and making a success of his life.
Now have a look at his posts from the last three or four months. Old before his time, constantly fluctuating between anger and weariness, resigned to spending the best part of half a century paying about £5,000 a year to be metaphorically fisted morning and evening, 5 days a week.
For South Eastern Trains passengers, every day is like an abbreviated version of The Shawshank Redemption, with every single one of us playing Andy Dufresne. We arrive at the station in the morning as innocent victims of a miscarriage of justice and spend most of the day wondering how to escape from the bleak, oppressive confines of our prison cell (usually a 376 Electrostar or a 465 Networker). Finally, mercifully, we plot our path to redemption, but we have to crawl through a sea of shit and piss to get there because, yet again, the bogs are broken and the Train Presentation Crew have managed to pick up most of the discarded Metros and Evening Standards but conveniently overlooked the yellow river flowing freely along the carriage.
I recently read about a form of meditating where it is possible to force your mind to become completely shut off from everything around you and become unaware of your surroundings for a short period of time.
Sounds great to me. Imagine being able to get on a cattle wagon and instantly shut yourself off from all the cretins around and just sail through all the delays without a care in the world.

Couple of pints in it for you if you can teach me how to do that before we next play Millwall!

Funny you say that I was in London this morning and got on a tube at Victoria. It was rammed however a guy shoe horned himself into a gap when the doors opened at the next station. Once we were on our way he closed his eyes and had his head at a strange angle, looked weird but he looked completely out of it and somewhere else.
When we pulled into Cannon Street, his head straightened up, his eyes popped open and he was up and walking away.
I must have that skill built in coz 99 per cent of the time I get on the train, sit down, read a paper or look on here or other phone things and then get off - lucky I guess - having said that I've been did bv it 30 years - maybe I'm immune - puts tin hat on and waits for abuse

The work shy mouth breathers sitting in the cab at the front wearing ASLEF badges and all the RMT badged employees perfected it decades ago

First thing to do is take their watch, wallet, phone and lap top

I've done a number of 1st aid courses over the years, and I can assure you that if someone is having a panic attack, the worst thing you can do is try and get off with them.
