Mom with baby almost kicked off train by elderly woman

Travelling with a baby has never been easy. Most of the time you not only have to worry about the baby, but sometimes you even get rude passengers that just make things more difficult. Like this poor mom who almost got kicked out of a first-class train carriage because the woman sitting next to her, whose bags were on the seat, told her she did not have a right to sit there as she needed a first-class ticket.

"I asked you nicely to put your bag on the floor and I offered to put it up. I’m carrying a baby and you just had your shit in it [the seat]. You have to respect me," the mom, Tyrone Williams from Bromley in south London, can be heard saying in a video.

"And you have to respect your elders and betters. People have actually paid to sit in this carriage," the woman responded.
"I don’t want a screaming baby," she went on to add.

"He’s not screaming. He is behaving better than you," Tyrone said in response to the woman. Fortunately, one kind passenger intervened and offered the mom a seat.

A Southern Rail spokesperson, who spoke to Metro, said priority seats should be given up: “If they’re needed more by people with disabilities, expectant mothers, elderly passengers or those carrying infants (the seats should be given up). Passengers using priority seats in first class should still have a valid first class ticket unless first class has been declassified due to disruption.’
