I was travelling from Eindhoven to Schiphol to catch my flight back home. I was to change trains at Utrecht to go to Schiphol. The train from Utrecht was supposed to leave from "Spoor" (Platform) 5. The announcement had been in Nederlands and hence I asked a fellow traveler, a Dutchman with an Indonesian wife and a lovely baby) if I had it right. I had.
I go to platform 5 and the platform has been changed to 4a. I do not know and am waiting.
The Dutchman I had consulted, comes looking for me on platform 5 and tells me to hurry to platform 4a!!! After thanking him as profusely as I can in a hurry I rush to the other platform and catch the train.
But for him there was a distinct possibility that I would have missed the train and the flight!
Thank you my unknown benefactor, wherever you are and whoever you are!!!

This is so exciting. But no. I remember the family so well! He was a stocky balding older man than the one in the picture. He had a square face. They had only one very young child - fed with an Avent bottle. (It is a Philips product and I work for Philips - hence I noticed)
But I am so glad that you asked - that means this has been read!!! :)
With best wishes to you and your lovely family!
Good people are still out there.. ! :)
