Well I saw the BBC London news report and the accused fare dodger was quite
emphatic that she offered to pay the penalty fare a number of times, but the
inspector just demanded her name and address and confiscated the oyster
card.

Wouldn't it have been simpler to just try swiping the card again? I
assume it had some credit on it.
