My Scotrail Experience

[brownie]

Oh it's an assault, oh the poor lad may have forgotten to pay, oh the humanity.

 

The little twat got what he deserved and hopefully the gobshite will think twice before mouthing off again.

[vanderark14]

Couple of things.

 

The guy's a little ned, of the sort that seems to be endemic in Scotland.

 

The 'Big Man' takes matters into his own hands and, whether you want to interpret as assault or not doesn't matter, he assaults the ned.

 

The ticket collector should have called the cops to have the ned thrown off.

 

The Big Man should be arrested and charged with assault.

 

The Ticket collector should get a little radio so he can call for muscle in a situation he obviously isn't physically capable of handling. Or maybe he should be the subject of mandatory retirement.

 

Sorted.

 

I'd rather it was sorted the way it was instead of the police having to waste their time and tax payers cash with stuff like this.

 

 

I thought the conductor was next to useless. Apparently, if a passenger doesn't have a ticket he's supposed to be given the option to have the bill sent to his home address, and if he refuses the transport police are to be called who will lift him at the next station. Not, "oy you, aff ma Tain. I've got a day. This is ma joab like". The big man should never have got involved. Save that aggression for the utter depravity of humankind. Like thon bitch in the London tram experience.

 

there was a ten minute discussion before the video between the conductor and the ned/student so who knows what was said.

The "ned" is actually a student at Heriot Watt University, he seems to be a fine upstanding member of the community........probably the type who helps old women cross the road.

Very true. But that process doesn't require a ten minute discussion. "Can your or will you pay?". "No.". "Right, wait there, am callin the police". I'm guessing less than a minute for that dialogue to take place. And... without watching it again. Doesn't the big man ask the conductor if he wants a hand and he says yes?

[barassie_afc]

The poor wee student is on radio scotland at 10 am to give his side.......... for balance they should have the conductor on as well as the big man

[barassie_afc]

He is on at 10am today VDA, my crystal ball isnt working

[RUL]

British Transport Police are investigating incident for assault.....the boy has been advised by his lawyer not to speak but is speaking anyway.

 

Although he's now saying he doesn't even a lawyer.

[centraldon]

Some chat about whether we are gonna hear from the ned at all... Oh, the excitement.

[RUL]

He said he bought two single tickets on the way throug, both incorrect, said they had a one minute argument and then got chucked off the train.

[barassie_afc]

sounds like a bam , sorry no remorse from me

Ooooft, he's a total knob

Sam's a psycho. Kay doesn't know what's hit her.

A radge cxnt eh, likesay, you want a swedge , get the big man's pal to phone in

[RUL]

Saying he wasn't offered a ticket.

[barassie_afc]

Saying he wasn't offered a ticket.

 

we are not being told about the 10 mins previous .........

[centraldon]

Fellow conductor saying the conductor was in the wrong! Surprised more hasn't been made of that. Didn't follow protocol and gave a passenger permission (which he had no right to give) to throw another passenger off the train.

Sam appears to be making out that it was an instant decision.

big man said there was 10 mins of diatribe before, we need someone from the train

[RUL]

What the feck is this bird on about?

[Dynamo]

It's a storm in a tea cup really.

[centraldon]

but we arent being told what happened previous 10 mins..........

Had it taken 10 mins to get to this point it's further evidence the conductor wasn't doing his job.

It doesn't bode well for him by the sounds of it.

[centraldon]

absolutely. sam's argument isn't as unbiased as you'd expect

[daytripping]

Fire the conductor and give the big man a hefty fine, maybe a couple of grand plus a grand compensation, problem sorted, he's a rich banker who can easily afford it.

 

Viciously assaulting a small student over a ticket mix up, it really isn't on.

[centraldon]

Actually, I've lost any sympathy for Sam after that interview. Clearly has anger management issues. Still think the conductor and the Big Man were in the wrong also. I'm gonna stick with my chauffeur.

[RUL]

Aye, Sam's a total twat.

[RUL]

He's quite the talented musician as well
