A 14-year-old girl was hit with a £100 fine by train inspectors who accused her of lying about her age to get a cheaper ticket - despite the fact she was wearing her school uniform.
Leila Sanger was 'left in tears' following the ordeal and is now terrified of getting the train to school incase she is confronted by the two men again, the Mirror reports. The teen, who regularly uses the service to go to and from school in Gravesend, Kent, was on her way home to Snodland on May 25 when the incident took place.
While changing trains at Strood, she was approached by the rail workers who accused of her pretending to be younger in order to use a child's ticket. The guards then handed her a £104 fine - despite the fact Leila was wearing her uniform, had a student lanyard around her neck and was carrying an ID card for Southeastern Railways.
