An Incident At Taunton Railway Station In August 1942
A Memory of Taunton.
An 11 year old boy got off a train from Barnstaple on to a platform crowded with Servicemen and other passengers. Travelling alone to London, holding a small case he was confused by the station announcements, and then boarded a crowded train. Where is this train going he asked? "Bristol", and then "Birmingham" came the answers. He felt panic - he wanted a London train and must get off again and got the door open. The train was now moving but he had to get off and fell sprawling on the platform, his case burst open and clothes strewn around. Frightened and confused, tears welled up in his eyes.
