Dodging train fares

If the lazy cnuts are too busy counting the loot to check the ticket I was bullied into buying, they can get to fuck.

Its great getting away without paying for a public service that has been sold off to a private operator, but will it be as great when they turn round and say that due to not enough (paying) passengers your train will not run any more?

PUBLIC SERVICE NOT PRIVATE GREED

We have a new breed of revenue rottweiler on the railway now who spend 8 hours a day intimidating pepole into buying tickets, I've even rowed with one in fron t of passengers. The penalty fare system is a joke as it punishes genuine, honest passenegers whilst the cunts in scouse class get away with in day in, day out.

I also know a girl who's dad is a train driver and her and her mates get free trains.

What a fuckin' joke that is.

This was the main stay of getting to away matches in the 80's. There was a certain art in jibbing and not getting caught by the hector...sorry, operator! :-)

I've seen those Revenue Protection sluggards dossing about at ticket barriers. Their score was £8.80 out of me in nine months.

I'd pay given the chance. It should be like the tube where if you don't have a ticket, you can't get onto the platform.

On my regular route to Manchester I don't pay, more often that paying. I get on at a station that has no open ticket office (It's open for two hours a day), no-one asks for a ticket on the way to town and more often than not there's no-one at the other end to ask for a ticket.

HOWEVER, the one thing that really fecks me off is at Piccadilly when the idiots who call themselves ticket inspectors or whatever see a train come in, gather at the end of the platform and ask for tickets. No-one has one, because there wasn't a chance to buy one. So there's a queue of about 50 people trying to get a train ticket through no fault of their own.

Considering we invented passenger train travel, we ain't half fecked it up.

If the railways were publicly owned once again they might be cheap enough for ordinary people to actually get on; you know, like they do abroad. Instead of that we have a mess of private sector firms still taking subsidies from the taxpayer, charging all kinds of eye-watering train fares and effectively dissuading people from using the trains. And for this whole incredible privatised fiasco we can thank our old friends, the Tories (something you may want to reflect on come polling day).
