Train eviction video: 'Big Man' is charged

[Freamon]

I like to think I would have had the frame of mind to have considered it. I know the kid was rude and was being a twat but in the interest of just getting on with the journey then this is a much more pleasant option. If anything rubbed off on the kid then it'd be a bonus.

It seemed from the video that he only had a single ticket in the other direction. Was he claiming that he had bought a return but only had the outbound part of the ticket to show the ticket inspector? If so, it would be pretty easy to tell if he was lying as a single ticket purchased on its own has SGL printed on it, whereas a return has OUT on the outbound ticket and RTN on the return part.

He'd been told that it was cheaper to buy a single outbound and a separate single for the return journey than getting the cheapest return. He claims the ticket office messed up and gave him two tickets for the outbound journey.

I'm not trying to defend the scrote... he probably was lying! All I am saying is that there was a deadlock and there was more than one option to resolve it.

A dog ate mine.

The kid was travelling without a valid ticket. The man physically threw a minor off a train...

He was 19, so he wasn't a kid or a minor.

Why can't we all just get along?

Then if he wasn't lying he would have 2 outbound tickets and any mates he was with would also have valid tickets.

Anyway the onus is on you to check your tickets before you travel and make sure you get on the right trains.

You have to consider this is a Scotrail train, populated by drunkards.

I would have just flung the guard off.

No if he put the ticket into an automatic barrier on arrival.
