Liverpool: Teenager turns train announcer for the day

A teenager's dream to be a train announcer for the day has come true, thanks to his teacher. Joshua, 13, from Caernarfon, Gwynedd, surprised passengers at Liverpool Lime Street station during a school outing. Joshua, who's blind, announced the 10:27 coming into platform one. He knows all the stations on the Liverpool line and was able to put his knowledge to good use... "Josh always mentions his dream is to be a train announcer," said teacher Conor McSorley... Mr McSorley said staff "couldn't have been nicer", saying Josh was taken out on to the platform and the experience made everyone's day...
