"Sling him under a train"
"trainmanUK" wrote in message ... On the film you dont actually see him swear so we dont really know what happened before. It seems that the train he got his hand stuck in ws terminating and the staff were emptying it. I dont quite understand in that scenario he got his hand stuck in it. I mean if he was getting off presumeably he would have been stuck in the train and trying to get out. But this would not raise such a problem for the staff as they would obviously have to reopen the door to let him off. Might I suggest more likely he put his hand foward to try and stop the doors from closing. Maybe he did not know what was happening with the train and decided to take matters into his own hands and provoke a reaction from the staff. If that is what he did then that might well cause the staff to lose it especially as they were trying to clear a train in the middle if the rush hour. This does not condone the swearing and what happened later but might be a reason for it. And despite his words the man does seem to have remained on the train and continued his journey (unless I have missed something). The CCTV of the station should fill in some of the missing details. I also find the attempt to link the fare rises with this incident slightly strange. If there were no increases does this mean that this would be OK? I don't see why it is necessary to try and engineer a situation in which the passenger was some way in fault to justify the actions of the member of staff. We have no idea so why try and speculate. Is it ok to slag off a member of staff because of the failing of LU? Kevin |
