Is the area officially closed in the evening, perhaps, but the doors had

been left open for staff access?



At 2115 in the evening with 2-3 hours left of trains running with

relative low frequencies? How can you not be allowed to wait for a

train in a railway station?



Something's not right somewhere. I assume the OP was referring to

PCSOs rather than PCOs and if he was then colour me not surprised that

they're acting like a cross between Hitler and a Moron.

I was the only one sitting down in the seated area - minding my own business.

I noticed that the same PCSO (whatever) also threw out a young lady - who was also waiting for a train. Its safer in there at night than out on the Concourse. She wasn't best pleased.

The guy had a newbie companion PCSO with him, and my guess is that he was showing off. But it has now resulted in a formal complaint to Mark Hopwood (FGW GM), the BTP Complaints dept., Network Rail, and letters to the railway press and posts to social media.

Basically it was bullying, harassment and victimisation. I would have thought that with all the bad press recently that the police - Met and BTP - would have been on a charm offensive right now. It seems that they have forgotten about the charm bit.
