Not everyone's ticket is checked at both ends. There are plenty of
ungated stations on SWT's nyetwork, and of course some people won't have
started their journey on SWT at all, having changed at Clapham Junction.

Treating us all like bloody criminals, I may start refusing to show my
ticket to the guard as they now have ample checks and six times a day
takes the p*ss.

You do that. Your consequent whinging here about what happens will be
most amusing.
