Metro disruptions on match days

[Captain Deltic]

I was on that train. It was f***ing horrific.

The dog kicking off while some pissed up Yorkshire mongoloid yelled at it was a particular low point.

The Doncaster lads seemed to want to fight each other more than anything though.

I felt sorry for the poor kid that was in tears at the front of the train and the woman with the dog. I really thought the window was going to get put out, just don't understand how, when I had a swift pint in the Centurion there were 3 coppers outside yet not a single one on the platform when the flares and boisterous behaviour started. Think it was about 5mins after the train should have left when they got to the front of the train. Suspect the disturbance at Newcastle station was the reason why they were pretty heavy handed and willing to push and shove anyone near them about on the return journey.

Complained & complained fir years about Northern & @SPUFF has

Usually about overcrowding

All you get is free complimentary tickets for your next journey

Loved to kna what happened on the other carrage before billingham last night

Polis got on & escorted least half a dozen people off not football fans mind well they didn't have any colours

But no arrests from what I could gather

Aye the board at S'land said it was delayed due to passenger disturbance, wonder what happened?

It was the same train that had formed the 1541 from Newcastle. The delay due to "passenger disturbance" was the issue at Newcastle station on the outward journey which had a knock on effect on the return

Feel sorry for those who have to use the Metro on a regular basis mind.

It's an absolute shambles of a service.
