A Scotrail passenger, Temi Collins who ride on the train from Queen Street to Livingston daily said it is comforting to have the defibrillator.

Temi Collins said: “It is an exciting news to know that defibrillators have been installed for people like me living with High Blood Pressure and open to heart attack and to know there is an equipment to perform CPR on anyone at any time is comforting.”
