Disrupted 'Tube Puzzle'

TRAVELING from Shoreditch High Street to Peckham Rye on London Overground, I had the bad luck to be on a train taken out of service because of a "disruptive passenger."
The carriage I was in had the serial number 38153. As usual, each number should be used once, and once only, and must be added, subtracted, multiplied or divided to make a balanced equation.
