...from the 21.55 LIV to MCO on 15/02/20.
It happened just before Mossley Hill station:

A male passenger had already pulled the emergency chord, and once the train stopped, just outside of Mossley Hill station, a further altercation occured and the passenger somehow opened the door of the 150 and jumped onto the tracks.
The train - which I was on and I also witnessed some of the altercation - then pulled forward into Mossely Hill station, and after a few minutes I got off. I was only going to the next stop (West Allerton), but most people on the train were going beyond the Merseyside area to Warrington and Manchester.
Lots of police soon attended, included dogs.
Thank goodness I live locally and could get a bus home, but what of the other passengers? I have no idea how they made it home. If that had happened somewhere more remote even I wouldn't have been able to alight the train and I, along with the other passengers, would have been stuck there for a very long time!
I expected that the local rag, the Liverpool Echo, would have already picked up on this story; but they are more interested in a story about a Z list celebrity at the moment!
I feel sorry for the train crew who had to deal with this situation, especially the guard who couldn't have prevented this stupid eejit from jumping onto the tracks.
