    by St. Joyn Ambulance Brigade or British Red Cross Society when necessary, other- wise relatives accompany the patients. Upon arrival at their destination station arrangements are made for then to he net and conveyed to their hospital/hone destination by the Ambulance Service of the Authority in whose area the station is situated. This county is fortunate in having a through train service to and from London on weekdays and patients for London and surrounding districts are usually transported on this train. For patients to other parts of the country an excellent train service operates from Shrewsbury, to which station they are usually taken by road depending on their physical condition. Requests for this type of transport are not frequent in this county but when General Pract '.ione3~s make requests for transport to convey patients over a great distance9 they co- operate if ny staff suggest moving the patient by rail. Reciprocal arrangements are also made to meet patients at railway stations in this county on behalf of other ambulance services, and convey them to addresses either within this county or in neighbouring counties.
