A TRAIN company brilliantly slapped down a racist passenger who complained about having a 'Pakistani' driver - telling him to walk instead.
The passenger, tweeting under the name Ali Roberts, contacted ScotRail on Twitter to "make a formal complaint about your seating situation".
After the rail firm responded, directing the user towards their website, Roberts then complained about the ethnicity of the driver.
The troll wrote: "You have a Pakistani driving one of your trains.........do you really think that's safe?"
ScotRail responded: "Yes. Very safe. Feel free to walk instead."
The stance was widely praised by passengers on Twitter as well as leading politicians.
Humza Yousaf, Scottish Government Minister for Transport, tweeted: "Well done @ ScotRail - Putting racists firmly in their place!"
One passenger commented: "Class from the @ScotRail Twitter." Another added: "What a comeback and well done ScotRail!"
Ali Roberts' Twitter account has since been deleted.
