three of them from Latimer Road to Ladbrooke Grove,late saturday afternoon saturday 11 november 2023.

Don't think it was connected with Armistice Day as it was a little bit too far away from the Protest area.

Can't remember seeing any on the London underground but recall seeing them fairly regularly on some of my visits to Hamburg.  The method was for a fair number of the HHV revenue protection staff to board a carriage "incognito" and only when the U or S Bahn moved out of the station would they produce their I.Ds and check people's tickets/passes.  They fairly frequently caught someone who hadn't paid and they had the security of numbers to carry out their work without the culprits thinking that they could make a getaway or resort to intimidation.  You really couldn't tell them from the other passengers especially as they appeared to be a very representative mix of what you'd expect to see on the train.
My brother and myself once realised we'd travelled a couple of stops beyond our day card zone and had seen enough people caught out that day to be more than a little relieved when we were back in safe territory again.
