    lol! Throwing him out the door was a bit OTT though, I'm sure he could have worked out a way of doing it without him falling over.
  • an interesting comment perhaps they should have waited for the coppers at the station and got them to remove the person correctly

    Couldn't care less if both of them got their heads kicked in.
    One's a wannabe hard man and the other looks like a ned and the railway companies aren't much better with the manner in which they sometimes muck people around and rip them off.

    The trouble is, that could cost the train company thousands of pounds if by waiting at the station they delay following services.

  • erm....train companies pay the british transport police a heck of a lot of money for that very reason! deffo handled the wrong way, especially by the conductor! if my bf did that to a passenger, he'd be in deep doggy doo. i hope the guy who picked the fare evader up gets what he deserves because,to me, that looks like assult.

    Very public spirited attitude from the member of public, the scrote was given the option to leave and told the world doesn't owe him jack !!!!, so well done to the conductor and his helper, faith is restored
