Tonight I travelled on an Arriva Trains Wales service from Warrington Bank Quay. Of the 5 people standing in the vestibule I was the only one with a ticket.
I had seen the others waiting on the platform for at least 10 minutes before the train arrived and as Warrington Bank Quay has a permanently staffed ticket office it was pretty obvious that they had no intention of buying a ticket. Much to their disgust
(mumble, mumble, the ticket fellas coming, ****) the conductor was unusually quick and he nabbed the lot of them before the train reached their stops
I wonder how much money the railways lose every day because of people like this?
