That could still be (and probably is) railway property.

Still gives absolutely no right to chuck dirty water over him or prod him with a mop.

But a railway station isn't a public place in the same way that a street is. He is not a rail user, so has no business there, and if he has refused to move on when asked to do so he can have no complaint. And the staff have a duty to keep the station clear, and they have duties clean it too. In the unlikely event of being sacked, they would have a cast iron case for unfair dismissal.

Although the video makes it look like he was on the pavement outzide the station rather than on station property. Regardless it's still a shameful way to treat any human.

No right to stay there if he's been asked to move. And if it's in their job description to mop the floor, then they have every right to do so, and to ask people to move.


Homeless people do need help, and I'm happy to contribute and have done so - and I would never dream of doing to them some of the abuse that some sick louts do. But that doesn't give them the right to plonk themselves down anywhere.

No complaint? Pouring dirty cleaning water on someone is an assault. He could get seriously ill from losing body heat, given that he's living on the street.

Cast iron? They're causing damage to the reputation of their employees, which is certainly going to be grounds for some action.

They can indeed mop the floor, and ask people to move........but they soaked him, and prodded him with a mop. Really not much different from other forms of abuse of the homeless you seem to abhor.

Absolutely - their contracts will most likely have a 'bringing the company into disrepute' clause that will, if proven, be treated as potential gross misconduct, and potentially leading to instant dismissal.

A friendly tip, when you’re trying to dig yourself out of a hole just stop and walk away. It’s far easier.

When I was a steward at Withdean it was in my job descripton to get people to sit down. I assume you'd have been happy if I'd thrown dirty water over you if you stood up ?

People get charged with assault for far less. What on earth were they thinking?

 

[Sussexscots]

FFS. How much longer does this go on for?

Buses for Huddersfield and also for the game v Southampton. Interestingly the two weekends when there are matches at Twickenham the trains are running. Maybe the RFU have more clout with Network Rail.

I think that, based on some of the performances we saw at Withdean, that would have come as welcome relief

Trouble is, they've created a precedent now whereby a nine day closure is considered acceptable. Expect this to become an annual occurrence from here on in. Because they can.

I feel for others who have no choice because it's shit (did it for long enough myself), but last week was ace. Worked from home the whole week, got LOADS of work done without constant interruptions.........didn't lose 3 hours a day commuting and didn't spend £120 doing it..........

BTP now investigating the incident as common assault according to reports....................

Not a stalker, I work in your HR dept. Could you pop in when you finish your conference call please!!

Now I know you're taking the piss. The chances of HR spotting anything, let alone doing anything about it, are non-existent
