Hollyoaks star, Davinia Taylor, has lashed out at train staff after claiming they left her stranded at the station. The mum-of-four, 48, who played Jude Cunningham in the Channel 4 soap, said she was denied entry onto a train to Birmingham despite arriving three minutes before its departure.
Taking to social media in a furious rant, Davinia branded staff working at London’s Euston station “horrible” and “inhuman” as she accused them of ‘sniggering’ at her as she tried to board the train.
Sharing a video of herself – which she has since deleted – sprinting through the station with a large suitcase, she raged: “‘I f*****g hate little s***houses like this.”
Davinia, who was part of the iconic Primrose Hill set with Kate Moss in the nineties, continued: “I was there, the train was there, I was three minutes, I sprinted through Euston. I said: ‘Look, I’m a woman on her own. I bought the ticket’. They’d not even locked the gates. He said: ‘Sorry love, you can’t go, you’ve gotta be longer before'”.
Mocking the station worker, shrugging his shoulders, the actress fumed: “As I said to him: ‘Imagine if that was your mum’. That’s the f***ing idiots you’re dealing with. Empty it was, empty.
“So now I’ve gotta buy a new ticket. I’ve been working my a**e off, and these little nasty, nasty little f*****g clipboards.”
Claiming the platform was empty, Davinia went on: “I said: ‘Do you know what? You’re not even human’. The platform was empty. Empty, and they both sniggered, sniggered, what the f**k is wrong with people, when they’ve got a f*****g uniform on.
“I hope their mothers are embarrassed. Horrible, horrible brats.”
Davinia’s video was captioned: “Clipboard computer says no, jobsworth, not my problem. K**heads. Why are SOME of these people in the travel business set on default to be unhelpful? Btw I travel Avanti loads and have met absolute angels… but these two. Yuk.”
Claiming she’d been told by a train manager to report the staff, she then posted: “My lovely train manager on the next train told me to report them and this sort of attitude and behaviour has to stop.
“As a woman travelling alone – my point being I had massive cases from work and they could see me struggling and just smirked – it’s all very passive aggressive behaviour that some of them seems to relish in.
“I was there in time they just blocked me.”
While many of Davinia’s followers supported her, there was one who blasted the millionaire’s daughter for being ‘entitled’.
Hitting back, Davinia said: “Train left at 16:29 I was at the top of the train at 16:25 with my QR code in the phone by the time he said that there’s nothing he can do get the next one to Birmingham it was 16:26.
“I was asking him to radio the lady who was talking to the conductor next to the train and he said no can’t do that. Then after another min he said I have to be there three min before. And sniggered.”
According to the Avanti West Coast website, platforms at London Euston close two minutes before the train departs.
A spokesperson for Avanti West Coast told the Mirror: “We are aware of the customer’s experience travelling yesterday and we are currently looking into the circumstances of what happened.”
