During World War II, children in Britain were primarily evacuated by train to safer rural areas away from cities targeted by bombings. Special evacuation trains, known as "evacuation trains," were used to transport large groups of children, often accompanied by teachers or guardians. Some children were also evacuated by bus or, in certain cases, by boat, particularly those living in coastal areas. The evacuation was part of a larger effort to protect the young population from the dangers of war.
