A woman claims she was refused entry onto a Merseyrail train for "being drunk" - due to her disability making her unsteady on her feet.
Mark Evison and his partner Jodie were visiting Liverpool for the day on Saturday, October 15 when they went to get the train home to Shrewsbury at around 8pm. The couple were due to travel from Liverpool Lime Street via Chester, but Mark claims Jodie was refused entry onto the platform and accused of being intoxicated by a Merseyrail staff member.
Mark said he tried to explain that Jodie had not been drinking and she was unsteady on her feet due to her disability, which was caused by a car accident in 2004. But he claims the staff member refused to accept his explanation and called security over.
