I despise people who turn up late and hold up the queue. Pay up and stop whinging

cant agree more theres nothing worse than waiting in a que especially if its been held up by someone paying a fare. so please candy make sure have that 20 quid in cash to pay the penalty fare whether its now or about 10 penalty fares later in 2 years time. please think about your fellow travellers

it has become apparent to me that you are writing this with bias. clearly you are worried that people who like me need to save money due to your rip of charges will google £20 fine for skipping the train. You want to make sure that the responses these people find are terrible aka put them of skipping. This is a campaign by the greedy train companies to spread wrong information about the way the train fine system works. I find it very hard to believe so many people who work for the train company could stumble upon this post randomly... clearly this is some scheme.

You do realise that the Government plays a part in rail fares, don't you?

No it wouldn't be funny if there wasn't any train company staff in the forum... what an inflated ego you appear to have. You haven't given any advice other than lie about the fact that my details would be taken and i would end up in jail if i did it more than 3 times.

Okay, I lied. Go and bunk the train, pay them £20.....That is obviously what you want to hear, so what the heck! Oh, don't believe I mentioned jail though, although that is where thieves tend to end up eventually, so who knows?!?

Petrol prices are affected by global economic forces like the cost of oil so i dont hold that against the petrol stations. Train fares are regulated by selfish, greedy fatcats who couldn't care less about the working man in this country,,, so i will skip and i will be happy about it..

Hey guys! I think I've fathomed where the troll works! He works at a petrol station!

One question though, when you do end up in court, what will your defence be? Bearing in mind it only takes the one RPI who sways more towards the 'reporting people' way of doing things, rather than the PFN way, and you'll be sh*ting yourself because your job will be in jeopardy.

Anyway, I really should stop feeding the likes of you.

lolol this made me chuckle definitely the best comment of the whole post! Don't worry I will have the £20 to hand over immediately even if it is in a bag of 2000 pennies lol.

Ken Livingstone said,

“Fares must be cut - on transport grounds to make the system more attractive, but also on economic grounds to put ordinary Londoners first by putting money back in the pockets that will boost the London economy.

'I’m drawing a line in the sand - Boris Johnson will hit you with a painful fare increase this coming January, but if I am elected the fares will be cut. There could be no clearer choice."

The Goverment give the train companies the authority to increase the price but it is the train companies that set them.

What happens when he refuses the 2000 pennies (which he can legally do) and you don't have another £20 on you?

Wow, to be accused of being a troll because I dare insult your beloved railway is laughable... you keep saying the same thing.. if we are trolls surely you are a parrot.

The railway is not dear to my heart. I rarely use it, maybe twice in the last ten years.

You are insulting every honest person on here though.

I dont like thieves and like even less people coming on here spouting about how proud they are of being one.

You are either a Troll or a thief, take your pick

This is my first time using this website so not a troll. I have never stolen anything in my life so not a thief. However, skipping the train is not stealing as long as you are prepared to pay the penalty.

lolol.. his job is to collect revenue... he can't refuse anything... i could put a £20 note down the toilet and he would still have to take it with a smile and say "thank you sir". Anyone with a job that sad like revenue protection officers should expect pennies.

Why don't you ask for discount if you pay ten Penalty Fares in advance? I'm sure there will be some sort of "carnet" scheme in operation. This will make your excellent [STRIKE]criminal[/STRIKE] money-saving scheme even better :beer:

Surely that should read why don't you ask for "A" discount.......why don't you ask for discount doesn't make sense.
