Well, you can only buy the expensive cash fares if there's a machine and
it's working and you've got the right change.

But TBH I'm surprised that Saver tickets ever got off the ground in the
first place. They were particularly easy to fiddle when Routemasters
ruled the earth - not many conductors could remember who'd given them a
ticket and who'd not.
