Ten minutes into first post-lockdown @TPExpressTrains journey and I’ve moved to another carriage to avoid three non-masked drunk Mancs, including one who was unable to walk unaided along the platform and onto the train.

They staggered onto the train after one kicked the door release button.

All three sitting together despite signs saying only one seat around a table should be occupied. One is up and down like a yo-yo.

“We’ve got four f****** tins” says one in a loud telephone call. He says he’s had a bottle of wine for breakfast.

They’re looking forward to a rave in Liverpool tonight. “Sorry mate, can’t tell you where it is,” says the man on the phone.

One of them is coughing, spluttering and moving his sports bag up and down. No masks remember.

Phone man confirms his intention to “meet our lass for a pint” ahead of the rave and then loudly recounts in lurid detail how he and “Juicy Lucy” had spent the previous night. “She’s a Thai. I don’t regret a thing.”

That’s my cue to move to another carriage. Another passenger follows about 15 minutes later.

There’s a @TPExpressTrains conductor onboard but tickets aren’t being checked for safety reasons. If I was a betting man, I’d wager our three potential Covid super spreaders are returning home after an overnight drugs drop. They don’t appear to be carrying a change of clothes.

What’s answer? It’s got to be a zero tolerance approach by the train companies @BTP

Change at Huddersfield leaving our Manc mates to continue on their merry way, last heard berating someone for texting a “scrote’s number”. Seven people in their carriage, one wearing a mask.

Two couples together in our carriage, no masks, get off at Leeds. Their table almost certainly needs a good clean after their exit but no @TPExpressTrains cleaner onboard. Place immediately occupied by new passenger, now sitting at a dirty table.
