Yep , round here the Revenue Inspectorate pounce on trains to fine the short riders
Hartlepool the other week ticket machine was out of order.
Offered to pay ticket bloke at gate n he said pay on board.
Nobody yo pay on board.
Nobody on way home either.
Would I feck have paid a fine given those circumstances.

I think I've only paid a few times. One a £20 fine
If they had more carriages on the conductors would be able to get around. They're costing themselves money by not doing it

what they used to was have ticket collectors at the top of the stairs at Sunderland station so no one got a freebie
but they’ve knocked that on the head bout 20 year ago

Tyne Wear metro when I lived back home about 15 years ago think I only ever bought a ticket once or twice
My mate had a blank one and if the ticky collared him he’d just say “oh I bought it at Haymarket but the ticket came out blank”
“Oh sorry about that sir I’ll get on to the maintenance team and get them to check it out”

15 min delay for the 10.51 out of Billingham...
"We are sorry that the 10.51 service to Hexham has been delayed by approximately 15 minutes. This is due to waiting for part of the train to be attached."
WTF man? I'll be asking the conductor what part...
Buffet car? Driver's cab?
Still, 4 carriages this week and got a seat. Happy days.
Billingham station this morning:

I'm on board now. It wasn't the buffet car.
Apologies for the duplicate bits above...

I don't think they've cancelled any services yet?
A usual matchday there isn't much chance if getting on at seaham unless it's 4 carriages though. I wouldn't plan your whole day around it. Too unreliable
