They said she was not arrested but would be dealt with.

They tweeted on Friday evening: “This is NOT how to cross from platform 3 to platform 4, across four lines of rail, including the fast through lines.

“A very drunk lady nearly didn’t make it home from her Christmas do.

“(Yes, she will be dealt with for the offence. No, she wasn’t arrested) #YouVstrain.”
