A ScotRail conductor has returned to work after he featured in a YouTube clip which has since been watched by millions.

The video showed an incident on board the 21.33 Edinburgh Waverley to Perth service at Linlithgow on Friday 9 December 2011.

Alan Mitchell, 63, said he was delighted to be back after being on leave since the incident.

The conductor, who has been a railwayman for 37 years, said:

“I have always wanted to return to duties. Railways are my hobby as well as my job.”

Since the video was uploaded to YouTube, a 35-year-old man from Stirling has been charged with assault and a 19-year-old man from Falkirk has been reported for a contravention of section 38 of the Criminal Justice and Licensing Scotland Act (2010) and a trespass in connection with the incident.
