Bleed control kits have been installed at Crewe Station after Avanti West Coast backed a charity campaign to spread awareness of their importance. 

The train operator has partnered with The Daniel Baird Foundation to provide additional protection for its customers and colleagues, over and above the existing first aid provision which already includes defibrillators on each of its trains. 

The foundation was set up by Lynne Baird in 2017 with the mission of promoting greater access to bleed kits in the West Midlands following the tragic death of her son Daniel.

The bleed kits will sit alongside the existing first aid provision at Crewe Station and be accessible for employees to use in the event of an emergency.

Avanti West Coast has partnered with The Daniel Baird Foundation to provide additional protection for its customers and colleagues (Avanti West Coast).

David Whitehouse, Security Director at Avanti West Coast said: "The safety of our people and customers is paramount. Accidents can happen at any time and bleed kits, put simply, can help save a life.

"We are incredibly proud to support the Foundation and would encourage others to join with Lynne to promote such an important cause."

Lynne Baird added: "People shouldn't just associate a catastrophic bleed to a stabbing. There are many other causes such as from a car accident or a work-related injury.

"We believe that having publicly accessible bleeding control packs in public places such as railway stations is vital. They provide the necessary first aid to help reduce blood loss until professional medical help arrives and I can't thank Avanti West Coast enough for their support."
