A ScotRail conductor who featured in a video watched by millions of people online says he is delighted to be back at work.

The video, filmed on a passenger's mobile phone, became an internet sensation after it was posted on YouTube.

It shows 19-year-old passenger Sam Main in dispute with a conductor about an alleged unpaid fare, before he was removed from the train by another passenger.

The video has more than two million views.

Alan Mitchell, who has worked on railways across Scotland for 37 years, had been on leave since the video appeared on the internet at the beginning of December.

The married 63-year-old said: "I have always wanted to return to duties. Railways are my hobby as well as my job. I never get that Monday morning feeling and I'm delighted to be back. I really like my work."

On December 21 British Transport Police said a man had been charged over an alleged assault in connection with the incident on ScotRail's 9.33pm Edinburgh Waverley to Perth train on Friday December 9.

Alan Pollock, 35, from Stirling, was named as the man who allegedly removed Mr Main from the train at Linlithgow station.

Mr Main, from Falkirk, was not charged but was reported to the procurator fiscal for allegedly breaking the Criminal Justice and Licensing Scotland Act (2010) which relates to threatening or abusive behaviour.

The Crown Office said the case remains under consideration.
