No, sorry, your argument fails there. The typical passenger arriving at the HEx ticket office isn't going have a ticket - that's why they're at the ticket office. Even at Paddington? I'd have thought a 'typical' passenger would arrive by rail (either 'mainline' or LU), and therefore be likely to have a travelcard. You're making the same mistake, I think. If they're arriving at the *ticket office*, they're intending to buy a ticket in the first place, which makes the argument being advanced completely fallacious. If they're arriving at the ticket barrier (if there is one) or on the platform, then it's a different matter entirely. [....] -- Ross, in Lincoln, most likely being cynical or sarcastic, as ever.
