Southport and the investigating Officer Sgt Nicola McVey told us that:-

Southport heading to Liverpool. Disorder had broken out on board the service

have witnessed the trouble and are keen to speak to anyone who saw what
happened. Incidents like this intimidate and scare other passengers and will not
be tolerated. It is vital we find those responsible." Anyone with
