Title: GOSSIP - TICKET CHECK LAST NIGHT Post by: Commuting Bookworm on June 05, 2008, 14:36:45 When we got off our train (departed Basingstoke 1737) last night, there was 3 ticket inspectors at the end of the platform asking to check our tickets. Never come across this before, does any one know why? Also did they check all / some or just our train?

It was just that train's turn to be checked!

I can't remember the last time it actually happened!
I look forward to seeing 3 RPIs at Nailsea & Backwell tomorrow evening, now I've posted this! ;) :D ;D Title: Re: GOSSIP - TICKET CHECK LAST NIGHT Post by: Ollie on June 05, 2008, 23:42:33 As per Tom, revenue protection teams like to block certain platforms now and then. Platforms 4a and b are popular to block :D
