I was queuing at Manchester Victoria this morning for the ticket check off the platform. As regular users of Victoria know, the ticket checks are split into two queues, one for entering the platforms and one for exiting.
Whilst the rest of us queued patiently, a young man just walked straight past the RPI manning the platform entry barrier ignoring all the instructions to join the correct queue and without showing a ticket just walked out of the station. The RPI did nothing.
This is most frustrating. Surely the job of RPI staff is to enforce ticket checks on all passengers, not just those who are compliant with queuing etiquette?
My guess is that the RPI didn't fancy the confrontation but in general, what power does an RPI have to apprehend a non compliant passenger?
