EMMA West has appeared before Croydon magistrates in connection with the 'My Tram Experience' YouTube clip.

An error led to confusion over the 34-year-old's plea, with the court initially entering a not guilty plea to one count of a racially aggravated public order offence.

The court file was later amended to show West, of Grenville Road in New Addington, has not yet entered a plea.

She was remanded in custody until January 6, when she will be formally committed to Croydon Crown Court.
