From whats been mentioned it was basically 5 minutes of the conductor trying to get the student to show him a ticket and getting foul mouthed abuse in return before someone starts filming it

I know there's a pretty good article on inspectors
here and it's a tough job but also one that may attract the type of person that enjoys wheel clamping or traffic wardening.

May well have changed since my days of using the Cambridgeshire trains 10 years plus ago, back then I'd buy a return even if I was pretty sure I wouldn't be needing it as the price difference was so low.

Why is this guy getting his uncle to speak for him? Sounds the same as when I was kid and the local trouble maker's parents refused to accept that their angels could do anything wrong and that everybody else had got it in for them.

What would you do if it were your son? Take a video on face value or try to find out what happened for yourself, I know what I'd do but then I also know my son woudn't talk to people the way he did to without provocation.

Possibly but for all we know they may well have been talking to the police, they have been informed after all.
A spokesman for the British Transport Police said: 'We have received a complaint of assault. We are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident and our inquiries are ongoing.'
