It would make sense about it being a training issue; he was pretty
insistent that it was only a Zone 1 & 2, though. I guess what
annoyed me most was the implicit accusation that OF COURSE I would
be fare dodging. First the aggressive way the ticket was asked
for, then the demand to know where I was travelling to, even though
the train was between Waterloo & Clapham Junction at the time, so
my Zone 1 & 2 was valid! Then the over-the-top, and very
demeaning, insistence that I didn't have the ticket that I knew I
did have. And then no apology at the end when I did have the
correct ticket after all.


The complaint form for South West Trains is at

PLEASE make the complaint. It would be better made with the ID of the
bully but his employer should be able to identify him from your
information. I assume such people are too expensive to employ and, once
they acquire several complaints, will each get a P45.
One such complaint might persuade him to keep a civil tongue.
I look forward to a report of the response from SWT.
