today i got the 12:45 train to stockport, which is the worst time to get a train on a saturday as stockport county play and there was also something big going of in a manchester, the train pulled up and was 2 carrigers i had a baby with me in a buggie, there was no seats or anywhere to stand, smebody actually fell into the buggie it was that over crowded, we eventually arrive at stockport as i fight my way to the door i find out the door is out of order, so i go to use another door only to find that the buggie does not fit between the seats, luckly an elderly gentalman, saw that it didnt fit and we had to carry the buggie over the seats, and the ticket man just watched the elderly man do this, i am not happy with the way the ticket man treated up or how the trains are set out therefor in the situation of a door been out of order a mum with a buggie or even a disabled person are then stuck, i will no longer be useing the train line again.
