A 27-year-old woman, Ellie Farnfield, was travelling from Redhill in Surrey to London Victoria when she began to have a fit and later regained consciousness on the East Croydon platform, she found a letter that made her realized what happened.
The note read:
“Eleanor, I hope by the time you read this you are feeling better. You had a seizure on the train and I took you off.You didn’t hit your head but I may have hurt your leg as I walked on it before I realized you were on the floor having a fit! Sorry!I’m also sorry I can’t stay with you now but here is a coffee to perk you up later and £10 to make sure you get a taxi home.Sorry I don’t have any more money so I hope you don’t live far away. I’ve contacted people from your phone and medical help is on its way and you’re with train staff.Wishing you all the best and a quick recovery.
Love Tom.”
Ellie was amazed that a complete stranger would show such care.
In an interview with the MailOnline, she said “Anything could have happened. I could have hit my head, fallen off the train, been there for a long time.”
A spokesman for Southern Railwaysaid : “This would have been a frightening experience for the lady, but thanks to our good Samaritan this young lady woke up in good hands with a taxi fare home.”
To find her mystery saviour, Ellie took to social media and posted her story and to launch a #FindTrainTom campaign so that she “can return his money and add many many thanks to it!”.
