I dare say he would have called the police if the guy didn't step in. Risky for all maybe stepping in like that as it could have turned ugly, but luckily in this case it didn't.

It was better for that guy he dealt with the 'big man' than the police, but he could have got him self stabbed or sued. It would have been better for everyone else if the conductor had just contacted the police.

That said police time wasted, everyone delayed by an hour or so and the little shit probably wouldn't even be fined.

Wouldn't it be nice if all the c**ts could just be a little bit nicer.

I meant to wait for him where he wanted to get off, if possible. If that guy hadn't intervened it wouldn't have just been that train that was held up, personally I'd ratherthe train kept to its schedule than wait for these guys to grow conscience or hope a passenger intervenes.

Can't we have a prison carriage on each train, where fare dodgers get taken (and beaten up a bit)?
That would be ace.

As long as we can clone you to provide the prison wardens.

If the men at Glasgow Airport had said 'Ho, let's call the Police, this looks dodgy.' the place would have been blown up. Well done, citizens arresters! It's time we sorted out bastards. Police are tied in red tape.

Or there would have been a small explosion in one of the terminals at any rate. A guy near me got kicked to death standing up to some chavs who were outside his house, to add to the dozens of other guys who got themselves killed for no reason.

And of course there's nothing to stop you getting sent to prison for your actions.

I was on the Croydon tram with some bloke who did the same thing to this whiney little shit abusing a conductor trying to do his job.

Hate it, but the 'verbal tram woman' was in the papers and ostracised, women do get harsher punishments in general.

Frankly it was a mistake doing away with the ducking stool.

If caught without a fare or correct ticket, I would scarper. I have recently taken to gently physically removing young men feigning sleep from their seats in crowded buses so that a pregnant or elderly woman can get a seat.
