Hide AdPreview information for Majelle’s story includes the following: “From Edinburgh, she boarded an LNER train and journeyed to Berwick-upon-Tweed to fulfil a long-awaited dream.
“It was love at first sight, as Majelle knew then that Rini was meant to be hers. With Rini cradled gently in her arms, Majelle happily boarded the LNER train once more, ready to embark on a new chapter with her precious little kitten, who is her loyal best friend at her home in Scotland’s capital.”
Among the many other stories is LNER doing a last-minute Christmas delivery during lockdown of a giant eight-foot teddy bear to save a young girl’s Christmas.
