Kind railway worker drove stranded girls 74 miles home for Christmas after they missed last train
dailyrecord.co.ukA kind railway worker drove a group of stranded girls 74 miles home for Christmas. The hero driver, known only as Tony, saved the trio after they missed the last train due to a delay, reports CorkBeo.
The evening began in good spirits for Cara Ní Chofaigh, a student at the University of Galway, who was heading home for the festive break.
She then bumped into her former housemate and a friend on the train leaving Galway on December 20 . However, their joyous spirits were soon dashed when they discovered that signalling delays had caused them to miss their next train.
Unfortunately, for the group it was the last possible way home to Killarney.Cara said: "We were outside Limerick junction when the train stopped and there was an announcement saying there were signalling delays for five minutes, then the same announcement came after ten minutes, then fifteen before we pulled into the station."The conductor asked us where we were going and when we told him Killarney he said we had no chance of making our train in Mallow, so we should go talk to the people inside"The three women were presented with the option of getting a bus to Tralee and then a taxi to Killarney.
