Soldiers from 11 Light Brigade threatened with arrest

"Three soldiers returning from Afghanistan were ordered off a train and threatened with arrest by a 'jobsworth' ticket inspector.

The men from the Intelligence Corps were on their way home from Helmand for a fortnight's rest and recuperation when he challenged them, claiming their rail warrants were not valid.

They had been due to arrive on a flight from Corfu at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, so the warrants for their train travel were made out from Oxford station. But their flight was diverted to East Midlands Airport because of bad weather."
