Didn't bother getting my ticket out when I got off the train yesterday. Just flashed my Maestro card and walked on by. Be good to say I was wrestled to the ground and issued with a penalty fair before I could say 'terrible inconvenience'. Instead the couple of lads on their Southern Trains YTS scheme pretending to be 'revenue protection' didn't bat an eyelid as 500 people squeezed through the gate.
If Southern trains really want to make it inconvenient why don't they introduce a stile - that would be a laugh and the women with puschairs would be banned from the trains forever - which I assume is what they want!
