If the conductor followed procedure then a situation wouldn't have arisen. Instead he chose to rile everyone up by saying it was the lad holding everyone up when it wasn't. That's the long and short of it.

It's quite funny and disturbing that you're more offended by bad language rather then violence and you think that the latter is a reasonable punishment for the former.

If the guy wasnt hell bent on fare dodging and pretending he had the correct ticket - and stopped arguing and cursing away: then the situation would never have arisen.

You may think it's amusing for people to be verbally abused in their place of work - I don't - and I don't care if that is a train conductor, a nurse in A&E - people have a right to carry out their employ and not be verbally abused for it.
