Police want to speak with this man after staff verbally abused on Briton Ferry train

British Transport Police have released a CCTV image of a man they want to speak with in relation to an incident on board a train travelling between Neath and Baglan.

A man boarded a train at Neath station and attempted to alight at Briton Ferry station. The train doors would not open due to a malfunction and the train began to leave with the man still on-board.

The man then activated the emergency alarm and stopped the train. The train guard went to investigate, and the man proceeded to verbally abuse them.

The train driver intervened and was also subjected to verbal abuse.

The train continued to Baglan station and the verbal abuse towards the train crew continued until the train departed.

Officers believe the man in the CCTV image may have information which could help their investigation.
