The alleged incident is being investigated by both ScotRail and Police Scotland
A ScotRail passenger has claimed a conductor pulled his dog onto the tracks while he boarded a train to Paisley. Darren Carding was visiting his girlfriend with his 18-month-old Labrador, Ozzie, on Friday, March 17, when the alleged incident occurred.
Speaking to Edinburgh Live, Darren said: "I was going to Paisley to visit my girlfriend and her little girl. I had purchased my ticket on my phone but it wasn’t a mobile ticket and needed to be collected from a station which I didn’t realise. He continued: "As I was boarding with my dog Ozzie, I felt a pull on the lead and noticed she wasn’t on the train. I turned and saw to my horror Ozzie was on the track under the train, he had pulled her lead which had pulled her under the train.
Straight after the incident, the conductor continued to press Darren for a ticket which he had on his phone rather than a physical copy. He explained: "He then after asked again if I had a ticket, rather than apologising and I asked his name so I could make a complaint. He then said he doesn’t need to give me it and hid his badge, as he turned I saw his badge and his name.
