I commute on the Great Northern route and I've always found the
inspectors polite and reasonable, both in their dealings with people
with tickets and the occasional time I see them deal with someone
without one.

Having browsed through the linked articles on the penaltyfareappeal
site and in particular having read the correspondence in the appendix
to their report at http://www.penaltyfareappeal.co.uk/f...9-1-FCCTET.pdf,
it seems to me like FCC made a diligent effort to investigate their
claims and found no evidence to back them up.

Of course nothing would excuse the alleged behaviour listed upthread,
and it may well be that the staff on Thameslink are worse behaved than
on Great Northern.
