I'm rest day today, and have been out to Penmaenmawr to shoot the Saturday's only Pendo drag, (a shot that has been on my 'to-do' list for about 18 months now!) and am typing this sat on an ATW 158 which is taking me home.
There's a girl sat opposite who has clearly just been pulled on the barrier for being an adult travelling on a child ticket. She's well spoken, but having a massive moan about what's happened and saying that she doesn't think there's anything the train company man can do, despite the revenue man apparently having mentioned the Magistrates Court.
This has set me off thinking anyway - how many of the travelling public actually know of the laws that cover railway ticketing? It seems this young lady doesn't for sure, saying she only turned 16 7 months ago seems to be her line of 'defence'.
I probably shouldn't admit this, but I do actually feel a little sorry for her - it sounds like she's admitted enough under caution to have incriminated herself and she's probably in for a nasty surprise soon when the letter hits her doormat.
