Davinia Taylor launches into furious rant at 'horrible' train staff

Davinia Taylor has blasted 'horrible and inhuman' train staff as she claimed she was denied entry to a train despite arriving three minutes before its departure.

The actress, 48, has shared a furious social media rant where she blasted workers at London Euston for 'sniggering' at her after saying she was too late to board her train to Birmingham, despite the platform being 'empty'.

In her video, Davinia said she sprinted through the station laden with heavy suitcases to catch her train.

She said despite struggling with large suitcases staff said she needed to have arrived earlier, meaning she had to buy a new ticket to catch a later train.

In the video, which Davinia has since deleted from Instagram, she said: 'I f***ing hate little s***houses like this.

'I was there, the train was there, I was three minutes, I sprinted through Euston. I said, "Look I'm a woman on her own. I bought the ticket". 

'They'd not even locked the gates. He said, "Sorry love, you can't go, you've gotta be longer before".

'As I said to him "imagine if that was your mum",' before imitating the worker nonchalantly shrugging their shoulders. 

Davinia furiously added: 'That's the f***ing idiots you're dealing with. Empty it was, empty.

'So now I've gotta buy a new ticket. I've been working my a**e off, and these little nasty, nasty little f***ing clipboards

'I said, "Do you know what? You're not even human". The platform was empty. Empty, and they both sniggered, sniggered, what the f*** is wrong with people, when they've got a f***ing uniform on.

'I hope their mothers are embarrassed. Horrible, horrible brats.'

The video also featured text that said: 'Clipboard computer says no, jobsworth, not my problem. K***heads.

'Why are SOME of these people in the travel business set on default to be unhelpful?

'Btw I travel Avanti loads and have met absolute angels... but these two. Yuk.'

Davinia captioned the post: 'My lovely train manager on the next train told me to report them and this sort of attitude and behaviour has to stop.

'As a woman travelling alone - my point being I had massive cases from work and they could see me struggling and just smirked - it's all very passive aggressive behaviour that some of them seems to relish in.

'I was there in time they just blocked me.

'Anyone else been faced with the unhelpful default type person when you're travelling??'

While many of Davinia's followers sympathised with her plight, one commented: '3 minutes what? Late? Late is late, the entitlement and support for it in the comments is insaaane (SIC).'

Davinia then hit back: 'Train left at 16:29 I was at the top of the train at 16:25 with my QR code in the phone by the time he said that there's nothing he can do get the next one to Birmingham it was 16:26.
