Before entering the District Lane platform at Ealing Broadway station at 4.30pm on Monday
4th December 2006 I was surprised to be confronted by an AXA healthcare sales person.
It seems incredibly inappropiate to sell healthcare on a station platform where someone is going to be in a hurry and liable to make a rushed decision with vulnerable people in particular at risk.

Correct me if I am wrong but most people entering underground stations at this time are liable to be in a bit of a hurry. This would explain why an AXA salesperson is at the station
as it would give the company sales person a chance to pick up people making hurried decisions. Correct me if I am wrong again but it would seem wise to make a measured and considered decision concerning your health and station areas are not the best place for such decisions. Particurlarly at risk are those vulnerable which include both those with mental health problems and those with physical health problems. If patients can be at risk from alternative practitioners they can certainly also be rushed into making decisions that they may regret later. I advise complaining to AXA healthcare and station managers concerned.
