A baby boy who was born on a Parisian train on Monday has been given free rail travel until he is 25 by the city's public transport company.

The RATP first started tweeting that a passenger had been taken ill at Auber station in central Paris. But it later tweeted that traffic had been interrupted on the RER A commuter line "following the unexpected birth of a baby on a train" at the station.

Trains were halted in both directions due to the incident, and the carriage was evacuated during the birth. Valerie Pécresse, head of the Paris regional council, offered her congratulations but added in a tweet: "Thoughts with the travellers too."

Is there anything in the LU rule book about dealing with a birth on the train? Would trains also be stopped in both directions?
