so Mr Main found it amusing enough to post it on facebook, if he was so angry and injured why didn't he go straight to the police. If he had thought about it, he wouldn't have been mouthy to the ticket inspector in the first place. I don't see the ticket inspector as being a jobsworth, i see him doing his job.
Just to add, two youths stabbed a conductor several days ago, whilst this is obviously not connected, perhaps they were mouthy and had no tickets, so he rightly objected, and got stabbed for his pains. From what i can gather he wasn't badly hurt, but this scenario is the tip of the iceberg.

"what if the student had been black, can see that situation not happening at all, seeing as how that would be construed as as racist incident. Perhaps the ticket inspector didn't have a radio to call ahead, not all of them do."
Let's stop doing the "what ifs" hypotheticals serve no purpose.
Regarding the inspector's ability to summon the police. Are you saying that there are some train services in Scotland that are completely cut off from the outside world?
Surely all inspectors are issued with radios, or if not, are able to speak to the driver who would DEFINITELY been able to contact the police at the next station?

so witnessing that situation would influence the way i feel about this, it doesn't, and can assure you there is nothing remotely funny about either.
Seeing as how aggressive, rude behaviour, and swearing would not have been tolerated once, but now is commonplace, and had the ticket inspector been a much younger man, i wonder if the student would have been as stroppy.

By the way - not that I'm excusing his behaviour, but I'm tempted to believe his story about the OUT/RTN tickets.
There's something about his story, educational achievements and background which suggests that he's not some hoodie scally.
Then again...we have Dave Gilmour's son who shoot a cannonball through that argument...

People have trouble getting the Police to turn up at their house when being robbed and you think the Police will turn out to some train station in the middle of the countryside to sort out a fare dodger.
