This morning, as most of us were probably rubbing our eyes awake or even still sleeping, a real miracle happened on the LondonUnderground.

At 9.37am on Sunday (July 14) the British Transport Police's Network Response unit tweeted about their #GoodNewsStory - and boy, was it good news.

Or maybe we should say girl. Because this morning a new mother went into labour at Westminster station and ended up giving birth to a healthy baby girl.

Now the BTP is asking if anyone has "any ideas for names".

The baby girl was delivered safely in the station thanks to help from a range of people, including off-duty doctors, paramedics, and other staff on the scene.

BTP Network Response tweeted about the events of the morning.

They said: " #GoodNewsStory today as the team responded to a female in labour at @TfL#Westminster .

"Whilst on route a healthy baby girl was safely delivered in the station.

"Many thanks to the off-duty doctors, paramedics and staff on scene.

"Mother & baby are [thumbs up, baby emoji, heart emoji]

"Any ideas for names? #NIRT "

In response to the name question, one Twitter user said "#NIRT is not such a great name".

Another said "how about Jubilee", referring to the Jubilee Line which runs through Westminster Underground.

A third Twitter user suggested "Teresa" and we're not completely sure who they're referring to, it's a pretty name all the same.

Whatever the new baby girl's name is, we're so glad mother and baby are healthy after their somewhat unusual birth experience.
