i was on a northern rail train yesterday with my 3 month old daughter. she required feeding. I was sat behind my pram and no one could see what I was doing.
When the ticket collector came to check tickets he asked if I could do what I was doing in the toilets. I responded by saying 'what breastfeeding' and he said yes. I told him I was fine where I was and didn't move and he left it. during the whole exchange he had his hand up and was making faces as though what I was doing was perverse.
I was really embarrassed and left feeling extremely uncomfortable and with everyone in the carriage watching me.
I called Northern rail today to make a complaint and was told by them that there was nothing they could do and its down to personal preference of conductors.
what are my next steps? I feel like I was treated badly and that this shouldn't be allowed by such a large company (or anyone for that matter).
