- Catering crew head Mark Doughty worked at East Coast trains for 14 years
- Customers asked why they had paninis instead of usual cooked breakfast
- Mr Doughty told them it was due to a staff shortage and broken boiler
- He was fired after being accused of bringing the company into disrepute
- Members of RMT Union are being balloted for industrial action over issue
Catering crew leader Mark Doughty, 39, was fired by East Coast trains after explaining to first-class customers on the Edinburgh to London train that a staff shortage and broken boiler meant they would not receive their usual cooked breakfast.
Angry customers, who said they were not getting what they paid for, allegedly took it out on the staff, reducing some to tears.
But afterwards, East Coast management allegedly accused Mr Doughty, an employee for nearly 14 years, of bringing the company into disrepute...
