Yellow Arrows on Tube Ticket
In message , Dave
writes So if you had a trolley full of shopping at your local supermarket, but not every single checkout was in operation - would you leave without paying whilst taking all the goods and claim it was the supermarket's fault? Or would that be considered theft? *If* there was absolutely no opportunity for you to purchase a ticket at your destination, then (and only then) would I say you had a point. If you had an opportunity to purchase a ticket at your destination, but chose not to do so simply because there wasn't someone there to *make* you buy one - that makes you a thief. As I stated. Someone in a London Underground uniform announced to the queue for the ticket office that if anyone wanted to pay at the destination that they could and then opened the manual gate and let quite a few people (including me) through. Not all the ticket machines had queues as the two main ones were out of order. Not all the ticket offices had queues as only one of them was actually staffed. If there had been massive queues for ticket machines and all ticket offices then sure I would have waited. The point I was making is that they couldn't handle the number of people at the single ticket window open because the machines were not working and they didn't have the other ticket window open. Because of this they had to let people travel without tickets on the basis they would pay at their destination. I can assure you without doubt that I wouldn't be the only one who didn't pay. And Im sure others claimed to have started their journey in a different Zone to Zone 5 (which Harrow is in) -- CJG |
