Well the sub-forum is "Infrastructure & Stations. I assume that the OP felt that it would fall under the second half of the forum title?
Yep I did the stations part.

Yes but if the idea is to improve counter fare evasion then I would have thought some ideas other than bods standing around might have been envisaged?Yep I did the stations part.
Penalty Fares on Northern would be rather a waste of time.
Or are you proposing to staff Chelford from first train to last 7 days a week?
Sad to say Virgin Trains back to what we tend to see half the time this morning. Travelled on the 06:09 from Wigan NW to Euston and not a single ticket check was done anywhere on the journey.
Did the train manager make himself seen?
Maybe a broken avantix
To be fair I think he was in the rear unit of the Voyager. But knowing its a double Voyager coming in surely the staff at Euston should be doing barrier checks?
Pretty simple - penalty fare in the first instance, do it again and you go to court.
Unless it's blatant - no need to give the benefit of the doubt and off to court you go!

In an ideal world yes, I think Virgin Trains are becoming stricter so hopefully its a start.
