Anybody care to speculate if TfL will utilise the SUNBUS (Nice)
Revenue Protection Model...????


Well, that's as may be in France, but this is the UK. No requirement
to carry ID, and the law doesn't permit the RPI's to demand anything.
If they are not happy with the info you give then they could call
the BTP but that would hold up the train. If they tried to forcibly
remove you from the train that would be assault.


Is that true? I would have thought that they were entitled to use
reasonable force to eject an unauthorised person from private property,
like bouncers in clubs or pubs.

I would take it as assault. Do you know if the law exists for an RPI to
forcibly remove someone from LUL property?

Any property owner has the right to use reasonable force to remove
undesirables and to answer your initial question Rip's can check details
over the phone using the voters roll etc, any failure to show up on this
usually means a BOP reception committee and criminal charges for evasion,
rather just the civil penalty a PF is.
