Yes Michael,

We, My Sister and I, were evacuated to Wrexham in Wales. I was five years old and remember the horror of the train journey.

It took all day to rip us from our parents and dump us with some strangers.

I wanted to use the toilet, and set off up the train. With a train full of kids with almost no supervision, every toilet was in a disgusting mess. Eventually I found a usable one, but when I had done, I got turned around and set off towards the end of the train. I opened that last door and nearly walked out onto the track.

Then I had to turn around and find my Sister. It seemed to me that I would never find her, it took me ages.

Also I remember, one time the train stopped behind some row houses and, word must have got around that a train full of evacuees was passing, because all the housewives came out into their back yards to wave to us.
