The Winton Train

4th September 2009
Liverpool Sreet Station, London

Sir Nicholas Winton, 100, was at London's Liverpool Street station to welcome passengers at the end of their steam train journey from Prague.

It marks the 70th anniversary of trains organised by Sir Nicholas that carried 669 mostly Jewish children to the UK.
Twenty-two of the original evacuees took part in the anniversary journey.

In a speech to several hundred people gathered at the station, Sir Nicholas told the former evacuees: "It's wonderful to see you all after 70 years. Don't leave it quite so long until we meet here again."

Sir Nicholas, from Maidenhead, Berkshire, described the scenes at the arrival of the series of eight trains that journeyed to Britain between March and August 1939.
