Train guard holds train as lady rushes over gritted steps.

A train waiting at a platform viewed from above at the top of the steps.

“As I got off my train today, a lady was trying to rush down the stairs in high heels to get on the train. She called out to the train guard because the combination of weather, heavy gritting and shoes was making it difficult to move very fast.

The guard held the train for the extra few seconds she needed to reach the platform. If she hadn’t done that, the lady would have missed the train and had to wait half an hour for the next one.”

What a wonderful, kind train guard! What kindness have you seen on public transport?
