Well I’d just like to thank all you people who dodge fares for keeping my season ticket prices nice and high.
Theft is theft, however you choose to dress it up and it’s still theft even if the train company is run by fat cat arses
Where did anyone suggest dodging the fare? 🙄
The reason your season ticket is priced so high is because the trains are run by morons who have to make a profit. On my old line I would get on, pay my £7 fare (more than it cost to drive and park for the day), and watch 50% of the passengers walk on, not get challenged for a ticket, and then walk off having had free travel. As they’d cut the number of manned stations to about 30% most of the time they couldn’t tell where anyone got on and so when they got off at the other end they just asked for a ticket from the closest station.
THAT is why ticket prices are high. Not those here who’ve got on, looked to buy a ticket but not been able to.
