I wonder if the information controller has accidentally uploaded that to JourneyCheck rather than an internal system for staff, and the Twitter feed takes everything from JourneyCheck and Tweets it.

Yes, I thought as much.

Sounds like a typical message on a certain internal system. Regularly see such messages coming from XC. ;)

Given there is no ticket office at Caersws this is hardly a surprise!

I suspect they mean more than just literally "without tickets". ;)

Such messages I sometimes see from the likes of XC normally came about as a result of a passenger being detrained after refusing to pay his fare, or travelling with (allegedly) no money and no ticket at all.

I wonder if someone will have egg on his/her face (or tea and biscuits, which I believe is the rail worker equivalent :lol: ) for putting that tweet into the public domain.

I believe anyone within sighting distance of a FGW station must now be in possession of a full fare ticket to somewhere on their system, valid within the next 15 minutes or be issued with a Penalty Fare. Even looking towards the station while travelling in a bus or car will show intent to travel, according to FGW, and absence of a ticket will only show intention to evade payment.

Oh, sorry, meant to put this onto the train dreams (futuristic section, but not very) thread!
