Some interesting info there.
I half expected that the "third party ticket checkers" would take a large chunk of the fares but the commission paid to Northern's conductors surprised me. I assume that it's Northern's way of getting the conductors to check/issue more tickets but I wonder if the commission is regarded as a nice bonus or an absolute necessity because the basic wage is so poor?
