The trouble with fare-dodging is that it is so easy to get away with it. Particularly if you know a little about railways.
For example, if you are boarding a Virgin train north of Milton Keynes heading north it the afternoon, there is really no point in buying a ticket, as the chance of it being checked are virtually nill !
I do a similar journey about once a week, and my ticket has only been checked once in the last 18 months. I was so surprised when it happened - I almost couldn't find my ticket !!
[ NB on at least 99% of my journeys, I had a valid ticket - sometimes more than one ! ]
