If the replacement bus driver had simply told her
that the next bus would be there in five minutes right at the start, instead of "you're not getting on my bus with that, it's more than my job's worth", would she have kicked up such a fuss?
As for the thug who threw her to the ground, I hope he got charged with assault.

Nah, she over stepped the mark being a pissed twat and deserved to be hurled from the bus
about the only thing that might have sobered her up as well. Shortly afterwards the bus got moving and everybody else can get on with life

Yeah, I kinda felt her pain
She'd bought some food to eat on the train, which she would have been allowed to do. She is plonked on to a rail replacement bus and was told she can't take food on it. She kept saying she wanted a receipt for the food so she could claim the money back from BR - this seems fair enough, it is their fault, not hers. And she kept implying she was going to eat it later, not on the bus. Any number of things could have happened here to keep the customer happy, including leaving her food up with the driver till she got off, but she was just facing a blank wall of bureaucracy and I'm not surprised she ended up crying and screaming.
/Edit: Screaming and crying is all I want to do whenever I catch a train (Or get in my car - I can't win), I'm just too English to do it.

On the plus side a coach load of people didn't have to smell her rancid meat paste sandwich.

Haha, this is true!
She did look like she hadn't washed in a couple of days...

"not surprised she ended up crying and screaming"
because of a turn of circumstances like you describe? Jesus christ, over the price of a fucking burger as well?
The way you justify her acting like a mong is everything I despise about how people view society these days. Shrug, ditch the food, get on the bus, go home.

Judging by the attitude of all the people on the bus,
including the chap filming, I think your society is quite safe :-)
I was just sympathising with her frustration at the sheer indignity of it all...the ridiculous rail fairs, the replacement bus, the general lateness, the stress AND being ripped off TWICE* for a shit burger. The burger was likely the last straw.
* Assuming she bought a replacement when she got off the bus.

You just shrug and get on with life though
Without holding up a bus load of other people. The only indignity would be having to sit next to someone with smelly food, hence why it wasn't allowed on the bus. It's not rocket science. Did she really think the bus driver or any official associated with that bus had the capacity to write out a receipt for food she bought somewhere else? Seriously?
To have a spasm like that over something so trivial and minor is simply being a bellend

BR?
How is the coach driver, working for an outside company, contracted to the train company she's travelling with, going to 'give her a receipt' for the cost of her food?
