I see that currently (17:10) most arrivals are about 30 minutes late due to a fatality.  Departure board at:
http://www.livedepartureboards.co.uk/ldb/station.aspx?T=PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains)

Says that there are delays but there's no actual time for delays being shown....H'mm

ummm no he isnt as TM's cant penalty fare. If you mean he is upgrading people with STD class tickets seated in 1st class then that would be more likely

I may have mis understood the conversation he had with the woman standing in the vestibule where he wanted to know why she didnt buy a ticket before boarding and told her it was 20 extra for a penalty fare.  Maybe he was just bollocking her and didnt actually charge her - but she was none too happy.

he might have been having a conversation about the 'buy before you board policy' in relation to purchasing tickets on board the train at 'manned' stations. if the figure of ^20 was mentioned that would relate to the ^20 or twice the single fare to the next stop which ever is the greater amount type conversation that a penalty fare inspector would have or a tm would have if advising a customer that "should a penalty fare inspector have been on this train then they could........" which is a conversation tm's do have with customers if travelling in a penalty fare area, even if they themselves cannot penalty fare. bearing in mind twice the single fare to newbury is greater than ^20 it would be more than that anyway

I didnt realise TM(resolve)'s couldnt penalty fare - which is probably why I concluded what I did.  Think she was getting off at Reading.

I believe that was a 180 from Exeter, unsurprisingly.
