However, there is a very simple answer to this problem - have a Saver
ticket "bin" at each door, where you could drop your
"Driver/Conductor" part of the ticket as you board.

Agreed - I've suggested this before. To avoid anyone retrieving the
ticket for re-use, it could be a closed post box with a "carriage key"
style lock on it. All inspectors could be issued with the appropriate
key, and in the event of an inspection the ticket stubs could be
retrieved.

Only trouble is that, if the inspection took place late in the day,
the bins would be quite full, and it'd be difficult to see which
journey they were for. That said, the driver could possibly be asked
to empty them while laying over at the terminus?
