Probably broke down on one.

*mic drop*

Because she needed to use the footbridge to access the station from where she was. However that wasn't the issue, it was leaving the pushchair and her partner at the top whilst obstructing the train doors. That is a criminal offence, and carries harsh penalties.

I’m sure it is an offence in the bylaws but, unfortunately, there are a lot of selfish and entitled people out there. As such, these things happen all the time. Unless they do it repeatedly there are unlikely to be any consequences as most people will let it go and move on.

You should move on too. Some things just happen even if it doesn’t seem to make sense. Try not to get bogged down by things like this.

I believe that she was.


What never happened? Yes I was leaving the station, then I stopped to watch, then I returned to the platform, then I tried to talk to the driver, than the off duty cleaner asked me to carry on. She was the biggest drain on society in my opinion.

Why did you stop? What was your interest in the situation? It appears that things were being taken car of. You were not being held up. So why did you continue to get involved. Are you a campaigner for the disabled? Are you a campaigner for railway passengers?

I stopped because I could see her standing still in the doorway, I wanted her to move out of the way so the train could depart. Define "taken care of", I only continued to get involved in the hope of ensuring that as many people as possible could get where they wanted to go. I'm not a campaigner.

Yeah I can understand, I think I will. However I find it hard not to respond to direct questions on here. Does that count as not moving on?

You took a risk. If it had worked out the way you wanted, you might have been up for a good citizen award or a special mention on the radio or TV, or simply satisfaction that you had done a good turn, but instead , you kept passengers waiting and got verbally abused along with the railway staff. Win some lose some.

PS. Sometimes the little old lady does not want help crossing the road. Does that mean that you shouldn't offer?

In the end of the day I have a right to free speech

Article 10 of the ECHR, to which the UK is a signatory (and it was drafted by by a Conservative home secretary) gives the "right to freedom of expression", in a form which is in fact quite limited. I would advise you not to rely on this right without studying the whole legal picture, the convention alone is not enough.

The only place in the UK where there is an absolute right to free speech is the chambers of the houses of parliament, which is guaranteed by some legislation from 1689, but you'll need to be elected an MP or a member of the house of Lords to avail yourself of it.

Article 10 imposes no duty on MSE to provide you with a platform to exercise your freedom of expression rights.

Yeah correct, but then again had she just listened to me instead of being a stupid cow it would have. I didn't keep a single passenger waiting, she did. She never yelled any verbal abuse at me, only at the driver. John was a bit rude in my opinion, but I know that he didn't mean it.

Yes that is correct. But it doesn't stop me posting what I wish to on here.
