Inspection blitz uncovers widespread free travel pass fraud

James Shields · 23-05-2014, 07:54

I've been commuting on the Drogheda line for most of the last decade, and until about a month ago I'd never encountered a ticket inspector on a peak service. I've encountered them reasonably frequently if I was getting a train outside commuting hours, or on Saturdays, and also they'll occasionally camp out in one of the busy stations for an evening and blitz everyone getting off.

In the past month, I've encountered them twice on morning peak commuter trains, which I think is a welcome change.

Any time I've encountered them they were polite.
