Hi there! A bit of a long shot but here goes..

Does anybody remember those crazy guys that worked at Paisley Gilmour Street in 2002 and 2003? Both of them must have worked for Scotrail and just shouted at customers. A Uni mate of mine got absolutely bawled at for accidently nearly bumping into one of them whilst walking by. The guy shouting was like sixty years old too, small, balding, and had glasses, he looked a truly respectable gentlemen, but everyday he was there, Scotrail vest on, f'ing and c'ing everybody for doing something he didn't like. We saw him shouting at children, disabled people, he had to get held back after somebody put their luggage down and he had to walk around it. He was absolutely insane. His colleagues allowed it to happen too. I don't know if he was going senile or what.

Then this incident happened..
A gay couple were kicked out of a ScotRail waiting room for kissing.

Gavin Cabrey and Steven Anderson, both 22, claim they were verbally abused by two ScotRail staff who asked them to leave a waiting room for kissing at Scotland's Paisley Gilmour Street station.

Administrator Gavin and waiter Steven, both from Glasgow have complained to ScotRail, claiming discrimination, reports the Daily Record.

Steven claims the rail staff admitted they wouldn't have batted an eyelid if it had been a heterosexual couple kissing. The incident was captured on CCTV cameras at the station and ScotRail have apologised to the couple for their workers' behaviour. They also sent them a £20 rail travel voucher as compensation.

But Gavin and Steven have called for the the ScotRail workers to be disciplined.

ScotRail said the workers, who would have been identified on CCTV, will be dealt with by their local manager.

A spokesman said: "They have acted inappropriately and an investigation will be carried out".
Anybody know if they were sacked over it? Those station staff scared the bejesus out of me. Thanks for reading!
