RedM Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 I was on a train about a year ago. A young couple got on at a station and didn’t have a ticket but when the conductor ( is that what they are called?) came around they tried to buy a ticket. He asked where they had got on and the correctly told him WSM and they wanted to travel to Cardiff. He said as WSM had a ticket office/manned station they should have purchased the tickets there. They explained they had ran for the train so didn’t. They said they knew they would have to pay top price, eg no off peak allowances. The conductor said as he wasn’t sure where they had got on he would have to charge them from the beginning of the journey, think it was Plymouth or somewhere. It was about £200 and they had expected about £30! They were sat by me and I did try speaking up for them saying they had certainly got on at WSM but the conductor wasn’t having any of it. The bloke was insistent he would only pay the fare between the two places, the conductor insisted it was Plymouth to Cardiff. The couple weren’t abusive or threatening in anyway but the Conductor wanted their names and address, the bloke refused saying he didn’t have the right to ask for them as they were offering to pay what he thought was the correct fair. The girl gave over her bank card and the guard took the full fare, I think she was getting embarrassed. The conductor then went away and the couple then thanked me for trying to help. Five minutes later the conductor was back, he obviously been in contact with someone as he came back and was quite insistent that he had their details. Again the man refused saying the girl had given her name on the bank card and payment had been taken. They said they had paid out of protest but would be going to the rail company and claiming it back. The conductor then lingered a few feet away. When we got to TM transport police were on the platform as we pulled in. I saw the couple being taken off the train and questioned. I stood nearly for a few moments as I had tried to help, and would again but they didn’t seem to need me so I left. Crazy huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
