TFW you leave your daughter on a train platform

Travelling to Cambridge. We just picked up a load of extra passengers from a broken down train. This was what happened to their train (1/8)

They'd stopped at Stevenage, where an American woman got on. As the train pulled out she cried "My daughter is still on the platform!" (2/8)

Sympathy everywhere, someone has number of station and rings. Woman understandably getting hysterical. Goes to pull emergency cord (3/8)

Someone tells her train can't stop til the next station (5 minutes away) so not to pull the cord. She does anyway. Totally fair enough (4/8)

Passengers soothe the woman, reassure her until they reach next station. At next station train is taken out of service because of cord (5/8)

But no-one complains, because they want the sobbing mother reunited with her daughter. The driver arrives at the carriage (6/8)

He hears the story, is incredibly professional and reassuring and comforting. He gets word from Stevenage that her daughter is fine (7/8)

And, in front of a carriage of people whose train is now out of service she says, no word of a lie, "Thank goodness my husband was with her"

@MsAlliance @richardosman This story would be rounded off perfectly with news that the daughter is, like, 37. *Facepalm*
