Thanks Norman, that link that Dave posted isn't the only one on this incident and everything is on a computer somewhere. This type of incident is unacceptable in a decent society and even BTR agrees with that! As to the possible punishment then I expect no more than a slap on the wrist for the female with perhaps community service for the male.
Arriva though should put a long ban on this couple travelling in their vehicles.
Where did BTR get this from "because he believes that someone who committed a crime such as this could only possibly be a benefits claimant. He is wrong " You have never said anything of the sort, so is he making assumptions on what you could possibly be thinking?
