Default Ticket inspections on the Tube

Are there ever any ticket inspections on the London Underground?


Yes. They were at Kings Cross today (H&C/Circle/Met) outside the
barriers.

I can't quite understand what they were checking though, as everyone
they stopped had already gone through the exit barrier with their
Oyster - and they were asking to scan them. They didn't seem to care
about those, like me, with paper tickets.

What were they hoping to find/discover? No police with them, but there
are police (Community Support for BTP) nearby I suppose.
