Train guard ‘humiliated’ disabled passenger

A woman has told how a railway guard “humiliated” her by forcing her to move her mobility scooter from a disabled space on a train.

Tanyalee Davis, 37, a comedian, said she was reduced to tears when a railway guard made her move so that a woman could put her pram in the wheelchair area.

Her partner Kevin Bolden filmed the incident on his phone on the train from Plymouth to Norwich on Sunday.

“It was so humiliating that I wanted to crawl under a rock and die,” she said.

Great Western Railway said the incident “should not have happened” and has apologised to Ms Davis.
