'Bespectacled brethren in their anoraks,' 'spiral back notebooks,' 'sandwiches in polythene bags,' - no stereotypes there, then!

This is not the correct way to treat railway enthusiasts, we spend hundreds of thousands of pound travelling on their trains, we are unpaid security guards for them and now this, all I can say is that this country is going from bad to worse.

HOW can they claim that Trainspotters are a security risk, when the Bombers looked NOTHING like GENUINE trainspotters? Come to that, what DOES some security risk actually look like in these Self-Opinionated so-called Experts opinions?

Where I do agree with the company is that something does need to be done to stop people travelling without tickets but I don't think this is it.
Things have improved a bit but there are still plenty of occasions when tickets on trains are not checked. Even when they are, conductors passing swiftly through the train asking "Tickets from.......?" means that those without tickets just lie low in their book avoiding eye contact with the conductor and getting away with it. I can't see the day when all stations will be gated so effective checks on trains are essential. More travelling inspectors would help and wuld soon more than pay for themselves.
