A hedge fund manager has recently made a settlement of £43,000 with Southeastern after being found to have evaded the fare from Stonegate to Cannon Street for five years. He had been using an Oyster card to get out of the barriers at Cannon Street and paying the maximum cash fare each time, and was eventually clocked by an eagle-eyed gateline attendant.
The story is from the Sunday Times but it is paywalled. The report says that the man paid the settlement within 3 days of being advised of the amount.
I do wonder (a) why he didn't buy a Z1-2 Travelcard and (b) what he did if he encountered the guard.
