Passengers on one of UK’s worst performing rail firms arrive at Lake District halt to find themselves locked in
One of the UK’s worst performing train operators has launched an investigation after passengers had to scale a 7ft spiked fence to leave a station when staff locked up early.
The Avanti West Coast train from London was 100 minutes late arriving into Oxenholme on Tuesday night, by which time station staff had locked and left for the night, passengers said. Some resorted to climbing the fence in scenes described by the local MP, Tim Farron, as “an unacceptable farce”.
