Get off my Train

[ManuelsMum]

Looks like "big man" has been charged with assault.

And the wee guy with the hat who isn't a ned done for Breach of the Peace and.....

trespass ()

I know if I was in the position I would have done exactly what the "big man" would have done.

There are too many liberals who seem to think that force should never be used, the young guy was clearly being a nob head.  He never had a valid ticket, when I buy a train ticket or a bus ticket I always check it and make sure its got the correct destination etc in the event that a conductor wants to check it.

Also if young guy is holding up the train then I'm obvs going to be mega pissed off. 

Its like when your on the bus and you get nobs who think its okay to smoke on the upper deck, I have got into a few confrontations in the past over this and I don't care what size the smoker is if they are smoking on the bus they are either putting it out or getting a slap.

bigmanm shouldnt of gotten involved unless the young guy had gotten physical, guard was holding up the train not the young guy. The guard should of radioed ahead for the train to be met by the local police force if no BTP was available. When the big guy put his hand on the young guy it was assult

if i was in a pub and the bar staff was getting verbal abuse from a punter after being asked, i wouldnt be able to physically help the staff help the guy out they have to wait for the police if i helped the staff eject a peacefullybut verbal person out the pub i would expect to be charged.

big guy was in the wrong and the guard was in the wrong

A little naive tbh if you think local police are interested in a minor incident like possible fare evasion. You are lucky to get BTP to meet you for far more serious incidents.

i was on a train in aberdeen which was delayed in station while police interviewed a suspect who hadnt a ticket they took hi details then allowed him to travel

All of the ticket inspectors I've spoken to about it previously say that they challenge those without a ticket, and if they meet any resistance, they just leave them alone and move on, not worth the hassle. Inspectors save the Company £££ by providing a deterrent to a huge number of people who would otherwise be casual/opportunistic/blue collar dodgers, who would offer them no resistance ever. Why waste time bothering with those who would kick up a fuss?
Manned inspection points at my point of origin and destination anyway.
