Rejected petition Change Elizabeth Line to The Winton line in recognition of Britain's "Schindler"
Sir Nicholas Winton rescued hundreds of Jewish children from Czechoslovakia in what became know as the Czech Kinder transport just prior to the second world war.
More details
Renaming of the cross rail line from Elizabeth Line to The Winton Line would be an appropriate recognition of the lives Sir Nicholas saved. We are request that The Minister for Transport, Mayor for London and the Queen agree to this change. A fitting tribute to a truly remarkable humanitarian
