I very much doubt they've created an algorithm, or even an internal memo, just to prevent you accessing live chat and complaining about your missing £6.  Just be patient.

Have you not been reading the posts, its £10 not £6

Have you not realised you replied to a post that's a month old?

The OP as stated it's not about the £10 it's the principal.

Not a lot of posters thinking this way but I think it was a fiddle by the conductor. It is unlikely the OP will find this out as he is already getting ignored, but the train company will know the truth.

It will be an internal investigation which he will not find out about.

Been going on for years with cash transactions, the old chestnut "machine broken".

The OP is right to pursue this all the way but might never get the right information. He will probably get his £10 back though.

I don't agree it's a fiddle, more than his job's worth.

Upon what evidence have you decided that the conductor was a thief?   That's a very serious allegation to raise against someone.

How would the train company know the truth of this matter?  If they did somehow discover the truth, why on earth would they keep it from the OP?   You think they'd cover something like this up to protect an employee they know to be a thief?  Why would they do that?

Try actually thinking things through.   If the ticket machines not working is a scam being pulled by train conductors, that is so widely practiced as to be an "old chestnut" that the rail companies are aware of, do you not think they'd have done something about it by now?   Given that the money being stolen is supposed to be going to *them* (the rail companies).   Do you seriously believe that a company would cover up endemic theft from *itself* by it's employees?   Why would they do that?

If you're going to come up with conspiracy theories, at least try to make them vaguely plausible.

Indeed, and would be particularly daft to do it on a service where the passengers are having to produce tickets at the terminus.

Not even that. This genius scam by the conductor relies on this key part of the OPs post:
"It was only after I got off that I realised he didn't give me back the money when he realised the printer was broken."

So basically it relies on people paying for something, being told they cant have it, and then "forgetting" to get their money back.

As someone who's worked in retail/services for most of their lives I've never seen that, the closest I've had was someone forgetting their change.

It's a moot point anyway. looks like OP has deleted or had their account deleted.

It's obviously the train company responsible for the deletion of their account to further their attempts to silence the OP!!

Soon the thread will disappear and in it's place will be a new one praising the train company and how professional their conductors are when handling money...

OP was so disappointed with his experience on the railway that he's learned to drive and bought a car.  Keeps getting road rage, though...
