Tom Wrigglesworth stepped in when he saw Lena Ainscow, 75, break down as she was ordered to pay £115 for a single on a Virgin train.
She had an £11.50 ticket for the 10.45am from Manchester to London Euston but was on the 10.15am. She had boarded the earlier service because Virgin staff had told her to do so.
Stand-up comedian Tom, 32, began a whip-round among passengers. He said: "Everyone was happy to help. Someone even put in £30."
But the manager reported him for begging and called police, who met the train at Euston.
