Thankyou! This has definitely helped, and matches with what my Dad said about being able to get an open return on my card for £18 (he's a driver for Northern).

Don't get involved with this; you know it's wrong, you abide by the law, and therefore you know you're doing the right thing. Just think, one day they'll get caught with this, and be landed with a hefty standard fare fine. And if they refuse to pay, it's going to cost them even more.
