AIUI, the train was DOO and the driver was in charge. The two
people who asked the OP to leave the train may or may not have been
railway staff, and they may or may not have worked for FCC; they
merely claimed to be railway staff but did not produce any evidence
to back up their claim. All according to the OP, of course.

As an FCC customer myself (between Cambridge and King's Cross mainly)
I'm appalled at this story.

The late night trains on the GN are a bit famous for troublemakers.
There was considerable concern expressed when First took over from WAGN
that they dispensed with the services of the security guards WAGN had
used. They eventually (in Elaine Holt's online session last July)
claimed this was because they were using their own in house security
staff. That is no excuse for failing to authenticate themselves, however.
