The Tube train driver who tried to help a teenager dying of stab
wounds on a station platform was allegedly ordered by his boss to
stop what he was doing and continue driving.

What this story fails to say is whether or not the driver did in fact
stop rendering assistance, to drive the train. A sensible course of
action would probably have been to wait until the paramedics arrived
and then claim to be too shocked to continue driving.

Am I right in saying that you could be charged with manslaughter if
you 'Fail to offer reasonalbe assistance' to someone in need.
Obviously what is reasonable could be open to interpretation, but
perhaps a visit from the local Constabulary to the home of the LU
manager to interview him might shake him up a bit. Also a good case
for naming and shaming I would have thought (again the manager).

On a point of accuracy, a Line Controller is not a manager. The rest of the
comments I totally agree with.
