Leeds train conductor sensed something was not right before police called to help young girls

A train conductor has helped return two missing girls to their home in Blackpool after they were on board a train at Leeds station.

Paul Wilkinson, who works for Northern Rail, found the girls on-board a service heading from Blackpool North to York on Wednesday (March 22) evening. The girls were both under the age of 16 and in their own words had 'run away from home', leading Paul to alert the British Transport Police.

Police then intercepted the train at the station in Leeds and took the girls into their care. Paul, who has worked for the railway for almost 16 years said anyone should trust their instincts at a time like this.
