A claustrophobic passenger on her way to a Hyrox fitness event had to be cut out of a train toilet by firefighters after being trapped there for nearly two hours. Despite almost fainting twice due to her claustrophobia, train staff told Miss Smith that calling the fire brigade would hold up an already delayed service. 'I asked the female attendant when it would be appropriate to call the fire service as this was clearly a fire risk,' Miss Smith said. 'I am severely claustrophobic and on two occasions I had to lie on the floor as I was concerned I would faint,' Miss Smith told NeedtoKnow. 'Crews used hydraulic cutting gear and a reciprocal saw to release a person trapped in a train toilet on platform 3.'
