Noticed a couple of interesting things when I passed through durham station at the weekend both of which leave me in some puzzlement.
Big signs have appeared demanding that passengers surrender up their tickets to staff "in the correct manner" as outlined in railway byelaw something or other.
Can someone enlighten me as the what the 'correct manner' of producing a ticket may be?
Also Durham has sprouted a crop of "railway enforcement officers". They dress as policemen (flak jackets, flouro and silly hats) but are most definitely not BTP officers.
Anyone know what they are for apart from standing around fondling their moobs inside their flak vests and looking menacingly at people in hoodies?
