There is a FFC poster about the supposed link between crime and
ticketless travel, presumably FCC think a large number of their
customers are criminals although obviously said criminals don't use
platforms 3 and 4 at Finsbury Park. Why don't FCC just tell the truth
and say they are trying to maximise their revenue and honest
passengers will be delayed as a result, and also add that it isn't
cost effective to install ticket gates on platforms 3 and 4?

In my experience of travelling on a different First Group franchise,
there certainly appears observationally to be a correlation between
antisocial behaviour an non-possession of a ticket. Why are people
randomly moving from one part of a train to another when the ticket
examiner appears?


Nothing random about it, surely?

Yes, I realised that as I pressed the send key :-) I meant to say
'apparently random'.


It's funny how people who are trying to look inconspicuous actually
look quite conspicuous. ;-)
