Wheelchair passenger not allowed to board

I thought you were leaving...

Once you check in you can never leave*

*tickets are non-refundable

 

[theblackwatch]

Agreed - this thread seems to be descending into insult tonyaryan which whilst perhaps understandable, is also not really very helpful as it only gives him more ammo.

Well said - moderator hat on here, can we cut out this sort of stuff please. The forum rules do state that members should be respectul of each other.

Oh, I thought you meant this was Hotel California (an eagles song if your musical tastes dont extend to country blues rock!)

That's what the ticket office at my local main station told me when I was trying to get home on Thursday after I missed my train by 30 seconds and had a 5 hour wait for the next one and asked for a refund so I could get the bus instead. :cry:

I note tonyaryan has been 'flaming' elsewhre on DS......

:roll:

His post 41 reads very similar to the early ds post re the wheelchair saying that he tried to contact northern rail on a Sunday, and asking what should he do. In this instance he's upsetting the neighbours with his outside incinerator. These post uncover his true nature as an attention seeker (trouble maker). Hope national press also cotton on. Demonstrates his wheelchair posts re accusation of disability discrimination is purely a way of provoking reaction so as to occupy his small mind. Obviously not bothered in the upset he causes; guard suspended / neighbours upset.

It started off as an Eagles thing then I realised how old that makes me look....

Yeah, i mean its from what 1973, so yeah... good song though, good band too.

Aberdeen to Portlethen.

There is a train at 1207 then the next is at 1716.

I only wanted the money back cause I'm a skinflint and didn't want to shell out more of my own for the bus!

It'd have been quicket to walk and cheaper than the bus too!

 

[jimrbrobinson]

Yes. Save money, run behind the bus. Save even more, run behind a taxi!

You're right about not giving him more ammo - he'll only continue to shoot himself in the foot with it.

This shows how Aberdonian I am.

For the sake of the bus fare, £2.60, I did consider walking.

I think we should cease fire for the moment I have at least 5 e-mails on various media outlets directing them to this thread and the DS one to see the mistruths and latterly the insults, lets not stoop to the level or bait him even if it'll seem fun

 

[theblackwatch]

Can you all keep this thread reasonably on topic please.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Back on topic, properly this time, does anyone know anywhere planned for disabled access under this Access for All thing

 

[sidmouth]

Can you all keep this thread reasonably on topic please, it seems to have degenerated into a wafflefest of drivel. I am about to remove some tat from the last 30 minutes.

I think we've all been marking time waiting for the return of Mr K!

 

[tonyaran]

Thank you all for your concern. I have decided to refrain from posting in this thread - and on other forums in relation to this topic - until the results of the investigation. An investigation which hopefully will finally bring an end to all the attacks against me.

 

[CarterUSM]

My word, what a lot of posts, and not really any further forward either! I really cannot wait for the other sides view(if we get to hear it), not to mention the outcome of it all. What a load of dirty washing it has been so far, in my opinion.

Tonya Ryan has just called a halt to her postings.

That is a sensible course of action tonyaryan, though my humble opinion is that you should have done that quite some time ago, though time itself shall tell.

Perhaps in future it would be adviseable to follow the above course of action before running off crying to the Daily Wail etc.

Cause an end? Mate, you're practically in Australia with the hole you've dug yourself... good luck getting out of this one..!

It's amazing how he contradicts himself all the time, his story changes all the time, i've been following the thread on digitalspy.

Well hopefully you have now realised you can't just wave the "disability discrimination" flag and have everybody fall in unthinkingly behind you when it's a simple case of you throwing your toys about because you can't get your own way.

It's a pity you are not so concerned about attacks on the rail staff who got caught up in your little tantrum - that's who I feel sorry for.

As I've said before and stand by, just because someone is in a wheelchair doesn't mean they can't be an arrogant evil-minded selfish little troublemaker.

Fair comment. I have now made up my mind on what I believe has happened. I trust that there will be as much publicity when Northern reveals its findings as there has been over the past week.

Unfortunately there won't be. Past experience suggests the media will only very rarely give any prominence at all to a correction or a retraction - bottom inside corner of about page 12 is the likely place, in a very small font...

Even if it was on the front page it would be given an inch or two in the corner, overwhelmed by whatever today's new rant turned out to be...

But we will know. What the media will do is quickly sweep the story under the carpet. The stories online will be removed and nobody will remember what the guard looked like - so in the future, I think the guard will be able to get his life back.

Likewise, 'Tony' will also be forgotten about - except by railway staff and the guard of course. I'd hope that staff wouldn't be silly enough to deliberately discriminate against him over this, but I'd understand why they might.

Yes, it was a rehetorical question. Unfortunately, the media, and the gutter press in particular, lose interest in a story very quickly, particulalry if a juicier one comes along.

I do hope the guard is able to get on with his life, and not be too damaged by the whole affair. I am sure there are valuable lessons to be learnt on both sides on how to deal with heated situations.
