So only a fare dodger can pay by cheque. If I happen to lose my ticket or I am mugged will I have to find some other means of payment or would I become a fare dodger. Does *anyone* still have a personal cheque guarantee card that isn't also a debit card? If not, then the difference that this makes to anyone is precisely 0 (since company cheques will still be accepted). My debit/guarantee card will still guarantee a GBP100 cheque even when I haven't enough funds to pay a GBP100 debit transaction. Admittedly the bank will charge me about 80 quid in excess ripoffs if I do that and the money isn't in my account three days later, but there is a difference in the two functions.
