I am on my way to pride and i have just suffered horrible verbal abuse and have no other way to record it than the blog since i have no paper or pens.
At Chorley rail station there were two men at the door selling tickets, i was served by the older of the two, large build, greyish hair, slightly spiked, wearing glasses. If was helpful and, after some complications where my card was declined, i got my ticket and went to opposite platform to wait for the train to Manchester.
A few mins before it arrived i noticed the guy near the corner of the station on his mobile and heard the following two phrases: 'yes, in a mini-skirt' and 'looked like Dick Emery'. I think he noticed I was watching him and i think he turned away and i didn't hear any more comments.
I didn't know what to do and just looked at him a few times trying to seem like i knew what he said and make him feel uncomfortable. Then my train arrived and i got on.
I'm writing this now to record what happened and also for proof of time and date.

Staff said that? I bet they broke their own rules, quite apart from just being rude. I guess the more ties people make a fuss the quicker things will change.
Don't let it spoil your day, and take care.
Fiona ,
sorry to hear this the station operator is northern rail and from what you describe the people selling tickets and doing checks are employed by another company (contracted to northern rail (I think it is G4 securtias ?)
