A disgusting case of racial discrimination against Muslim passengers has been reported by National Express passengers denied access to a Manchester to Leeds coach, and is trending on Twitter. Most National Express coach routes are operated independently of NX. The driver reportedly named "Caroline", is exployed by Runcorn-based Selwyns Coaches owned by French government-owned transport company RATP.

National Express have operators who bid for contracts to run coaches for them. Selwyn's are one of the UK's largest coach operators, and operate over 70 coaches for National Express. The 060 / 061 coach from Liverpool, Manchester to Leeds (via Bradford) is operated by National Express by Selwyn's Travel, of Manchester and Liverpool. They are owned by a multinational transport company RATP-Dev, the French STATE-OWNED BUS AND TRAIN OPERATOR.

The big question is, if the claims of racial and religuous discrimination are found to be true, will the driver simply be dropped fom National Express duties and allowed to do school runs and private community hires for Selwyns, potentially exposing schoolchildren to hate and discrimination, or will she be sacked by RATP???????
RATP are "Caroline"'s employers.............
