Are there ever any ticket inspections on the London Underground? Yes,
there are barriers at all stations but I would have thought that LUL
would also have roving patrols of inspectors randomly checking tickets
on board tube trains to catch any fare dodgers?

I've worked in London for several years and only ever come across one roving patrol which were out
at the far end of the Piccadilly Line near Heathrow.

Lived here all my life. Only place ticket has been checked other than at a barrier
is at Green Park in the interchange tunnels. I would guess trying to spot people
with Z2 only tickets travelling through Z1.

Seen them once many years ago on a central line train just before Ealing
Broadway.

Most tubes are probably too overcrowded for the inspectors to move about
in...
