Yet again we see yobs running amok and terrifing passengers and railway staff. This time it's not in one of our big cities but in the Rhondda Vally. The public should have some sort of protection against these cowardly yobs who would not say boo to a goose if they were on their own.
The guard, who had a fire extinguisher let off in his face and a bottle thrown at him, narrowly missing his head. This sort of behavior cannot be tolerated but what do the railway companies do they say they will withdraw trains, this is not the answer the yobs must be stopped from commiting these crimes. It can be done after all Hitler was stopped.

By withdrawing the service they're not solving the problem, they're just shifting it to somewhere else. In fact they'r making it worse, because it'll snd out the message that these yobs can do what they want and that they even have the power to stop public services. By backing down they'll never solve anything, now is a time for action, and I mean real action not just a few seurity cameras.
