A quick question please.
I was running after a train tonight (which I subsequently missed). Ticket was right at the bottom of my bag. Barrier was open after a fellow passenger went through so I rushed through.
Gateline security (not directly employed) wasn’t at the barrier - was about 10 yards away and shouted after me, to which I shouted back ‘my ticket is in the bag’... once the train has gone he found me on the Platform.
He asked to see my ticket - I found it, which seemed to disappoint him. He then told me it was the 2nd time I’d done it (untrue) and that I had told him I’d buy the ticket on the train (patently untrue as I had the ticket in front of him). He then ‘forget about that’ and told me what I’d done was illegal, whether or not I had a ticket.
I was interested whether this was a hat trick of misunderstandings on his behalf, or whether this statement was actually correct? As I say the fact I had a ticket isn’t disputed here, and I don’t make a habit of running for trains in this manner...
Cheers
