Worcester student wants to find Droitwich couple who helped her when train delay left her stranded

A WORCESTER student has contacted The Standard in a bid to get in touch with a Droitwich couple who helped her get home in the early hours after the train she was on broke down.

Holly Cogswell was on the last train back to the city on Monday (September 28) from Birmingham New Street when problems meant it was delayed by more than an hour.

Because of this, there were no services from Worcester Shrub Hill to Foregate Street and she was facing a 20-minute walk home alone at 1am on Tuesday morning.

A couple who were on the train overheard her talking on the phone about her predicament and offered to pay for a taxi home.




Holly told The Standard: “I really want to find them so I can thank them for what was a kind gesture to a total stranger.

“They got off at Droitwich Spa – the stop before mine.”
