IT’S A WARNING to all those out there who think they can get away with not paying their train fare. Buy a ticket or face the wrath of the ‘Big Man’.
In a video that’s quickly going viral, a passenger on a Perth to Edinburgh train in Scotland is seen refusing to acknowledge he does not have a valid ticket as the insistent ticket collector orders him to get off the ScotRail train.
The ticket collecter insists he “can sit here all night” as he’s getting paid however other passengers may not be so pleased. As the pair continue to argue, a gentleman dubbed the ‘Big Man’ steps in and asks: “Do you want me to get him off for you?”.
Within seconds, the fare dodger is ejected from the train while the ‘Big Man’ returns to his seat to applause. As for the fare dodger? Well as they say up in Scotland, he probably didnae see that comin’!

The video has already been picked up by Gawker whilst STV reports that the folks at ScotRail were a little less enthusiastic about the incident, saying “we do not expect members of the public to take matters into their own hands,” in a statement.
It’s not the first instance of train videos going viral in recent weeks. Last month, a woman was arrested after a YouTube clip showed her hurling racist abuse at black people on a train around her.
