I’m not the most regular traveler, but yesterday witnessed something that intrigued me.
Boarded a NT at Scarborough, missus and myself had return tickets. No problem, three passengers board opposite. Well before departure time, and numerous warnings about boarding trains without a ticket on the screen displays. We set off, guard does full ticket check. None have tickets, they obviously walked by an open ticket office, and a machine. Wanted three singles to next station, came to £11. What’s the policy here? I’m not trying to cause an argument, I’m just curious how this can happen after seeing numerous warnings about boarding without a ticket, and the £100 fine plus ticket. Or is it not the guards problem?
