Austistic boys treat day out ...

‘They just went so far above and beyond’ - railway workers make dream come true for autistic Norwich schoolboy

The autistic Norwich eight-year-old is fanatical about East Coast Trains - and is not interested in any other types of locomotive.

His mum Caroline Briscoe, 39, said his laser-focused enthusiasm can make it a nightmare to buy gifts for him.

She decided to write to East Coast Trains for help and was stunned when three parcels of train goodies, including hats, mugs and mousemats, arrived by recorded delivery in time for Christmas.

And after she wrote to thank staff, they went one better and invited Charlie for a dream day out at King’s Cross Station in London to try out their train simulator.
