Quick bit of help if that's ok with everyone.
A work pal travels each day from Fareham to Waterloo. Hes held an annual season ticket gold card for years. At Waterloo this morning there was a queue at the barriers so he followed a lady though with a case and didnt put his ticket through the machine.
He was challenged by an inspector who told him it was a bye law he had to put his ticket though the machine. He then had to supply his details including gold card number and date of birth and will be reported.
He made no attempt to avoid paying or defraud the railway, just wanted to save some time. And produced a valid ticket when asked.
Can anyone clarify the position here?
Thanks,
Tim
