first transpennine express complaint for damage

i traveled from leeds to manchester
recentetly with first trans-pennine
express trains. i trave;led in normal
class and had a reserved seat. when
i got on the train i saat down in the
seat and herd a tear. i checked my
trousers and the seat had made a
large tear in my pocked where i
had sat down because the armrest
had been left in the down position
meaning it caught my pcocketed as
i sat down. what rights do i have
as i feel the armrest should have
ben put in the upright position so as
to not cause damage by the guard.

    Up to you to have checked before you sat down I'm afraid. Do you really expect staff to have time to check and lift the arms every 2 minutes?

    So, it was the guard that caused the damage :eek:

    I hope that you suitably chastised him at the time.

    I suggest that you start World War III with him on Facebook - or at the very least challenge him to a duel. I volunteer to be your 'second'.
