    fare evasion multiple times

    Yep they tell you that but please, when have you ever heard of that happening, also states penalty for crossing the track £1000 and never heard of anyone being fined £100 let alone £1000. I was an RPI for 5 years, have been to court more times then I count so I know what they dish out.
