[drummindefender]

they are clever and it will know it has been used

bollocks :icon_sad:

after all that the train was so busy my ticket didnt even get checked! means i can use it again though:icon_wink unless the electronic barriers are clever enough to know its already gone through?

I'm always surprised when normally honest people think it's OK to defraud a railway company.

lots of people dont even know that its an arrestable offence not to be able to produce a valid rail ticket for the journey you have just made!

It might be arrestable, but it certainly isn't prosecutable.

I think you can be,
I will have to come back to you on that one Melts, as someone got a caution that its going to the courts a week ago, I will speak to Revenue protection next time I'm at work.

You can't be prosecuted for throwing your receipt away, it's not a crime.

Once you've left the station, you need produce nothing. It's up to them to prove you didn't pay.

Of course it is!

 

[Melton Fox]

Of course it is!

I haven't kept any of my train tickets, is it still an offence for me not to produce them?

When does it not become an offence?

I think it's pretty obvious that when swwg said "just", he wasn't thinking of people who had already left the station.

If you can take everything this lost type, as what they actually mean, then you're a more trusting man than I :icon_wink

you have to produce a valid ticket in order to exit the station, if not you may buy one, or you can be cautioned and summoned to court.

When I returned to Leicester station in October, there wasn't anybody at the barriers to check the tickets and all the barriers were open

When we went to Chelsea (League Cup) I showed a ticket on the overground but wasn't required to present it on the tube afterwards or the tube or overground going back.
Not enough inspectors.

 

[Siouxsie]

fine, and they are going up

surely you shouldn't have been encouraging him to fare dodge

 

[drummindefender]

to be honest i don't know what you look like and i doubt you'd be wearing those yellow shoes! plus i wouldn't want you to get in trouble over the matter anyway
how much is the fare going up then? i pay 8.25 with a yprc at the moment
