I always wonder what would happen if you accidently unloaded blank tickets from an Avantix machine or something.

They'd be easy to forge that way.

WHAT a farce his Sentence is? As for his resignation from his job, had I been his employer, I would have REFUSED to accept it and SACKED him first. That was nothing short of THEFT. I now most sincerely hope he NEVER gets another job in his life.

two years how did they catch him? and yes it is most certainly theft who would want a thief working for them only other crooks i reckon

Cool, What a thought,

The hard working tax payer then has to keep him .

As you say it was theft. He should be made to pay the full fare for all the rail journeys made on false tickets he created. If they can work that bit out.

I think we should get TOUGH on other crimes first, particularly drug , violence and sex related crimes.

He may be a criminal but he has not endangered anyone or ruined a life like so many other bastards.

There are an awfull lot more who are a real menace to society !! Don't get me wrong, I don't condone what he did but get tough on the nasty guys (and gals) first please.

What I don't get is why would this guy be posessed to do this in the first place. He had a decent job, which I suspect had a good salary, he is an educated person and has everything going for him, now he has got nothing over trying to save a few quid on train fares.

I agree that there is a bit of tension with this, as to be honest, most train fares are a rip off but was this guy in any position to risk everything he had to save on travel?

Oh, and yes, after his ticket was checked on tha train, the conductor then walked passed a bunch of drunk youths threatening othe rpassengers and didn't bat an eyelid .
