Disabled man told 'he was too drunk' to board Merseyrail train

A man who suffers with Motor Neurone Disease claims he was refused entry onto a Merseyrail train for "being drunk".

The wife of the man, who did not want to be named, said the couple had visited the city centre to watch a show at the Royal Court with her sister and her husband on March 25. The group were due to get a train home at around 5pm at Liverpool Central station, but claims her husband was stopped at the barriers.

She said a Merseyrail staff member then accused him of being intoxicated.
