Said the following about Frank Hoffman:

“On Tuesday 2nd June Train Operator Hoffman was working Train T22 as part of his duty. As his train approached West Acton east bound an emergency handle was operated and he was informed a passenger had collapsed.

He stopped his train in the platform and after informing the line controller what was happening went to the passenger who had collapsed and found he had stopped breathing. he then calmed the other passengers and started administering full CPR. he gave concise information on what was happening to the station staff and line controller.

He continued to administer CPR until the paramedics arrived and took over. He then returned to the cab to continue his duties.

Throughout the incident he acted calmly in a professional manor, the paramedics who attended said his swift actions saved the passengers life and allowed them time to take over.

T/Op Hoffman displayed exceptional professionalism in managing and dealing with the extremely serious situation he was placed in.“
