Spotted the following example of what a court may issue for fare evasion, from my local newspaper, The West Briton, date 27/6/13, I spotted the following example in their crime section:
Being caught near Falmouth means that the furthest she travelled on this service was Truro, which has barriers, so potentially an intermediate station unless in the evening. The fare from Truro to Falmouth, is anytime £5 return, or off-peak £4 return.
Seems a very expensive £5 saved.
Suggests there was a lack of co-operation or unwillingness to pay onboard, as staff always offer ticket sales onboard on the branchline.
ANNA MISACK, 23, of New Street, Falmouth, was convicted in her absence at Truro Magistrates' Court of travelling on a railway without paying the fare en route near Falmouth on December 9 and was fined £400 and told to pay £132 compensation
