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.


Excuse me, possibly stupid: How far does LU reserve the right to check your
ticket after passing the gates or leaving a bus? Honestly, after I passed
the gates I would have thought I left their area of control.

What would happen if you refused to be checked? If you told them you just
entered from the surface, and were leaving on another exit?
