"London Underground said that fare dodgers will still be able to use
cheques to pay their fares, and fines, to ticket inspectors".
So only a fare dodger can pay by cheque. If I happen to lose my
ticket or I am mugged will I have to find some other means of payment
or would I become a fare dodger.


Does *anyone* still have a personal cheque guarantee card that isn't
also a debit card?

If not, then the difference that this makes to anyone is precisely 0
(since company cheques will still be accepted).

My debit/guarantee card will still guarantee a GBP100 cheque even when
I haven't enough funds to pay a GBP100 debit transaction.

Admittedly the bank will charge me about 80 quid in excess ripoffs if
I do that and the money isn't in my account three days later, but there
is a difference in the two functions.
