At least they don't have penalty fares going to non-addresses or
non-identities... I wonder how much this is in the UK this happens?


When they do a sweep of Metrolink in Manchester the inspectors all
have PDAs to corroborate names and addresses using, I think, the
electoral roll.


And thinking about it... I got removed off the Roll because I "don't live
here anymore" (after 23 years and still going) all because a new housing
development on the same road used the same numbers as our houses... so I
doubt the system can cope with my road in any circumstance... Local council
was prepared to give free council tax for 6 months just cos I wasn't here...
Kind, but I'm not daft, I'd get a see you in court..
