I'm talking about way back when such checks were considered part of the journey. We weren't in so much of a tearing hurry in those days. With multiple TIs doing the checks you'd need to be on a very busy train for the wait to be significant.

Unfortunately, these days, the number of people in a hurry seem quite a significant number. Some of them are in such a hurry they don't even have time to buy a ticket!

Like the punter tonight, he was so late for his train he was unable to buy a ticket, yet somehow managed to A: Get through the barrier at Brighton without one* and B. make it to coach 1 of a 12 coach train. And then present me with a pre paid master card. Oh and was deaf, then as I was phoning through for authorisation, gabbed the card off me before I could give them the exp date.
He got through the barrier at victoria using his freedom pass.

*I dont think he came from Brighton somehow.

The last one I had that claimed to be deaf was sorry he did - the rest of the conversation was conducted at the top of my voice!

"I SAID YOU ARE A FARE-DODGER, CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?"

The carriage looked like it was populated by meerkats, the number of heads appearing over the backs of seats :lol:
