Tanyalee Davis

On 15 July 2018, Davis was "harassed and humiliated" after a train guard for Great Western Railway attempted to force her to move her mobility scooter from a disabled space on the train. The guard made an announcement to the train passengers that she was "causing problems" and threatened to call the police if she did not move and give her space to a woman with a pram. An investigation into the incident was begun by the rail company. On 20 July 2018, Davis was left stranded on a train when staff at York railway station failed to arrive with a ramp, and the train departed for Darlington, adding an hour's delay to her journey.
