YORK train operator East Coast has raised £10,000 for homeless young people.
The company is thanking thousands of passengers who helped it raise the money in just one day for the Railway Children, an international children’s charity which rescues homeless children on the streets of Britain and around the world.
More than 40 directors and senior managers, including chairman Michael Holden, joined crews on-board train services, staffing buffet counters and refreshment trolleys and selling a specially created carrot-and-cranberry cake to passengers, while customers also made donations into collection buckets.
