Travelling with First Great Western to Truro and back yesterday. Nobody came to collect tickets. I think it was to cold for the train manager  Wink Also when travelling on swt back in the summer when they had no ticket collectors a 'scroaty' family came on at Teignmouth and got into 1st class for free... funny though they came running out at Newton Abbot as the door in first class is emergency only!  Smiley
