No-one apart from the young passenger was assaulted. And he was hardly a hero picking on some kid a third of his weight.
What about his human rights ?

Geraint, at least try to keep on topic. It's this kind of irrelevant goading post that got you booted off last time you dunceOh my. Have you ever been able to debate, or do you give your class a detention when you have made yourself look a complete pratt in front of them.
Another classic quote from the modern way of teaching. No wonder the children finish their education with the attitudes that they have.
How sad.

The conductor was acting well within his rights to request the young man to leave. He was entirely correct to point out that he was just doing his job and that there was nothing personal in it.
He was entirely right to advise the young gentleman that other passengers may not be as patient nor reasonable (which proved entirely accurate). In return, the young gentleman replied with inappropriate expletives and an inconsistent story.
He did not incite the physical action of the large gentleman. The large gentleman did not cause GBH on the young gentleman.

And the foul mouthed young man who travelled without a valid ticket?..

Justice will thus prevail. Thanks be to, well, who exactly?

On a trip once I had a 1st class return and actually finished up at the next station up on the return journey from doing a favour.
I purchased a one stop ticket and didn`t realise it was standard class as I only had a few mins until the train.
I sat in my reserved seat and when the conductor came along she noted this error ( the stops were about 5 mins apart). She told me of my error but noted the reservations. Saw her supervisor and came back and said this time she would not charge the extra. Nor ask me to go to standard for a few mins.
Should another have pushed me off the train?
Or did this person use her brain and try and understand the situation?
Not hard to work out is it.

Did you hurl abusive language at her?

So the moral of the tale is that we should all travel without a valid ticket and if confronted make up contradictory and/or garbled stories and swear.
Thanks for clearing that up for me

It may have been a simple mistake of handing in the return portion on the way out. The conductor never investigated that. He has to go.

No the moral is have a ticket. But you also have a right if you have made an error to have it cleared up.
Not being told by a jobsworth that he has all night and goads the passengers, to a point one then commits an assault.
He should have asked for the name and address not told him the other passengers were going to get upset.
That in itself would cause many to swear at him.

The video clip is obviously (one assumes) taken after some kind of discussion has been under way for a while. Who knows what the conductor had investigated during that time or indeed how he carried them out. The end result is that he has come to the conclusion that the young man should leave the train.
