On a Tube station, last thing at night, you can sometime get maybe 10 customers an hour. I know, I have been there. It does not make economic sense to have a trained first aider on standby to specifically deal with an emergency.
However, giving the guy in the ticket office the training to do what I do does mean he can assist me - it is not as if every shift involves a medical emergency, but if it does happen, I would rather see a person in the ticket office than a dozen machines bolted on the station wall.
and, as a passenger , i would rather see a ticket office open , because on some stations the ticket office is the only place where there are staff at all.
