If you did it every day yes , if its occasionally I doubt it.


Seems a pathetic waste of time. Compare with the almost risk-free ways
of scamming £120/year for Watford-Central London travel, or £624 a
year for cross-london travel (say Epping - Hammersmith).

deliberately taking advantage of the overdraft facility without any
intention of ever repaying it would be theft.


LULs rip off fares for thei utterly **** service are theft IMHO.


Good for you. Fare dodgers steal air in my opinion, but the courts
might not agree

Besides , why not use their oh-so-clever extortion system against them
occasionally? Poetic justice.
