Ab Fab star Jane Horrocks reveals her suitcase was stolen on a train from Manchester to London as she criticises Avanti West Coast

Jane Horrocks has claimed she had her suitcase stolen by two passengers without tickets on an Avanti West Coast as she slammed the company online.

The Absolutely Fabulous actress, 62, accused the train line of 'not protecting their customers' after her negative experience using the service.

Taking to X on Monday, Jane said that two people were allowed to remain on the service without a valid ticket and later stole her belongings. 

She wrote: 'Do be careful travelling on @AvantiWestCoast trains. I was travelling from Manchester to London recently and two people without a ticket were allowed to remain on the train. 

'They then stole my suitcase. It's a thing apparently. Shame on Avanti for not protecting their customers'.

One of the company's social media officers replied to the tweet and asked Jane if she had reported the incident to the British Transport Police, to which she said 'yes'.

A spokesperson for British Transport Police told The Daily Mail: 'British Transport Police (BTP) officers are investigating after a woman reported that her suitcase had been stolen on a Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston train at around 2.50pm on Sunday 14 June. Enquiries are ongoing.' 

It isn't the first time a celebrity has bashed the train provider this week, after Davinia blasted 'horrible and inhuman' train staff as she claimed she was denied entry to a train despite arriving three minutes before its departure.

The actress, 49, has shared a furious social media rant where she blasted workers at London Euston for 'sniggering' at her after saying she was too late to board her train to , despite the platform being 'empty'.

In her video, Davinia said she sprinted through the station laden with heavy suitcases to catch her train.

She said despite struggling with large suitcases staff said she needed to have arrived earlier, meaning she had to buy a new ticket to catch a later train.

In the video, which Davinia has since deleted from Instagram, she said: 'I f***ing hate little s***houses like this.

'I was there, the train was there, I was three minutes, I sprinted through Euston. I said, "Look I'm a woman on her own. I bought the ticket".

'They'd not even locked the gates. He said, "Sorry love, you can't go, you've gotta be longer before".

'As I said to him "imagine if that was your mum",' before imitating the worker nonchalantly shrugging their shoulders.

Davinia furiously added: 'That's the f***ing idiots you're dealing with. Empty it was, empty.

'So now I've gotta buy a new ticket. I've been working my a**e off, and these little nasty, nasty little f***ing clipboards

'I said, "Do you know what? You're not even human". The platform was empty. Empty, and they both sniggered, sniggered, what the f*** is wrong with people, when they've got a f***ing uniform on.

'I hope their mothers are embarrassed. Horrible, horrible brats.'

The video also featured text that said: 'Clipboard computer says no, jobsworth, not my problem. K***heads.

'Why are SOME of these people in the travel business set on default to be unhelpful?

'Btw I travel Avanti loads and have met absolute angels... but these two. Yuk.'

Davinia captioned the post: 'My lovely train manager on the next train told me to report them and this sort of attitude and behaviour has to stop.

In the now-deleted video, Davinia said that despite struggling with large suitcases, staff said she needed to have arrived earlier, meaning she had to buy a new ticket to catch a later train

While many of Davinia's followers sympathised with her plight, the actress was forced to hit back at one commentator who branded her 'entitled'

'As a woman travelling alone - my point being I had massive cases from work and they could see me struggling and just smirked - it's all very passive aggressive behaviour that some of them seems to relish in.

'I was there in time they just blocked me.

'Anyone else been faced with the unhelpful default type person when you're travelling??'

While many of Davinia's followers sympathised with her plight, one commented: '3 minutes what? Late? Late is late, the entitlement and support for it in the comments is insaaane (SIC).'

Davinia then hit back: 'Train left at 16:29 I was at the top of the train at 16:25 with my QR code in the phone by the time he said that there's nothing he can do get the next one to Birmingham it was 16:26.

'I was asking him to radio the lady who was talking to the conductor next to the train and he said no can't do that. Then after another min he said I have to be there three min before. And sniggered.'

According to the Avanti West Coast website, platforms at London Euston close two minutes before the train departs.

A spokesperson for Avanti West Coast told Daily Mail: 'We are aware of the customer's experience travelling yesterday and we are currently looking into the circumstances of what happened.'

Davinia was famed for her position in the notorious Primrose Hill party set, where she joined her then-husband Dave Gardner in partying through the Nineties with pals including Kate Moss , Sadie Frost and Jude Law .

Davinia, who has been sober for 17 years after battling alcohol addiction, has become a fitness guru and credits 'biohacking' for her 'biological age of 20'.

Biohacking involves making small, strategic scientific-backed changes to habits and behaviours to improve things like cognitive function and weight management.

Davinia ditched her party girl ways in favour of a cleaner existence, after a 12-week rehab stint in South Africa where she was eventually able to kick her habits.

The former actress described her battle with alcoholism as an 'eternal hell', because she knew she shouldn't be drinking but was in a heavy period of withdrawal

Once she got clean, Davinia said she became addicted to other areas of life, such as eating when she gained 'stones', before eventually finding a happier balance.

She shares son Grey, 17, with Dave, and Luxx, 13, whose father has never been revealed, and Asa, six, and Jude, seven, with her partner Matthew Leyden.
