A Labour Party activist who was kicked off a train for fare dodging before hurling abuse at a station guard said the arrest was her 'Rosa Parks moment', a court heard.
Anyannah Ndukwe, 56, was spotted tailgating another commuter through ticket barriers at Oxford Road train station in Manchester in July 2019.
The activist was stopped by Northern Rail official Steven MacDonald, who asked the woman if she had a valid ticket.
Ndukwe responded: 'Are you taking the f***ing p***,' before telling him 'You are a f***ing d***head' and walking away, Bolton Magistrates' Court heard.
She then boarded the train, which was consequently delayed by an hour while British Transport Police were called to escort Ndukwe away from the scene.
She stated to the court: ''The train I was catching was leaving at 3.25pm and I was in a hurry to catch that train. I felt violated like Rosa Parks and I felt I was re-enacting that moment. I guess I was staring racism in the face. People asked what had happened on the train. Two passengers felt uncomfortable with what they were watching.'

So now Black Christians and White Christians.
Smells like Selma Alabama.
Same God too.
Is God a racist? |
Could you imagine the fury if you started a white Christian paper? |  |

Make you think what Police/Fire/Paramedics/Traffic wardens /Ticket Collectors or anyone with a "Babylon" uniform puts up with.
Equality for all. |  |

I thought Rosa Parks had paid her bus fare. |
She had.
Then she was told to stand so that a more important customer could sit down. More important because of the colour of her, and their, skin.
This, of course, could hardly be more different. |  |

It wasn’t me that’s said it, it was the court.
She wasn't done for fare evasion. Which suggests she had a ticket. So no idea why they were saying she didn’t. As I’ve said more than once, it may have been they were picking on her, it may have been she was looking for trouble.
Who knows. The Mail won’t tell you though. |
Let the court decide they had the full facts. | |

The worrying part is that she is a teacher. Do we really want someone who is abusive to people doing their jobs teaching children. | |

If she had a ticket just show it when asked or place it in the electronic gate correctly. I am sure the terms and conditions state travellers must be in possession of a valid ticket and must show it when requested. |
I believe you can board without a ticket, but must attempt to pay at the first opportunity
I do it on the local trainline. I pay the ticket collector on the train, but if he doesn't get to me i pay at the destination - honestly. [Post edited 20 Mar 2021 10:30]
