fgw revenue protection

I think your point about Par station hits the nail on the head, and Cornwall in general, Cornwall for years was a free for all as HST's stopping everywhere = guard no time to go through, lots of PF's are issued in Cornwall but very rarely do we hear about it, thats because the RPI's down that end will only issue 1 PF to someone, if a person has any previous PFN's when making the phone call then an MG11 is done!
There are I think 2 RPI's at Penzance who work that route and in most periods it's those two that get the most MG's and PF's!

Also to add, Par has been a PF station since 2007! although FGW didn't enforce them until April this year.

What's strange though is that Camborne and Redruth are not in a penalty fare zone. Fare evasion is frequent from these stations.

All I can say is "watch this space"............ next on the agenda apparently, along with Worcester to Hereford (as part of the London Midland scheme).

Am I right in thinking that RPIs are used as ATEs in Cornwall, because the Gaurd can't make it through the train?

We seemed to have one doing announcements once on the way from Penzance - Truro

Ah, I didn't know that! All the posters had an April 2010 date on them, whcih they would, of course, if that was when FGW decided to enforce it!

Colwall already has PF notices posted and a permit machine, despite no ticket office.

Good lad, just like we do on the SR and the B&KR!

But PF's only apply on LM services from there at the moment.
