Going 5 years on the same service without seeing a ticket checker is not sensible. Also the standard 100 euro fine needs to be a lot more to be a proper deterrent - at least double, if not 500 euro. There is no real excuse for not having a ticket now that there are TVMs working everywhere.

For the record I didn't mean regular checking on the same trains - I said checking blitzes (which by their nature would be random) and more RPU staff (which would again mean more random checking). My use of the word "regular" was meant in the sense of more people out checking tickets every day!
