Redalways, I suspect this may be the same flock of ticket inspectors hovering about at Waterloo East every single morning? (I usually get through there between 7.30am and 8am, so don't know when they finish, but they're gone by 6pm). At least 6 inspectors (and no, it's not enough if you show your ticket to just one of them, you have to parade the line), plus a few odd characters who are also clearly part of the group, plus a couple of backup police or community support officers for the heavy handed stuff. Holding up the flow of passengers through to Waterloo Main Station. Every morning. Not. Obvious. At. All.
