A commuter was left traumatised after being trapped inside a train toilet for almost two hours, with firefighters eventually being called in to cut down the door.
Robin Smith experienced the rail journey from hell after a malfunctioning automatic door left her stuck inside the small loo.
The 35-year-old, who is severely claustrophobic, almost fainted twice during the shocking incident.
Keen athlete Robin was travelling down to take part in a hyrox open ladies event when her day was turned upside down.
It happened last Saturday (24 Jan) on CrossCountry rail service from Southampton Central to Manchester Piccadilly.
