The revenue people often do checks on the train. They will board a car and
wait until the doors close before announcing thmselves. Often in plain
clothes. I have had them many times, i travel the line during my duty and
they always ask for my pass even though i'm in uniform!! Its not a problem
to me....

The dogs are there for other reasons. Talking to the police, they pickup
more people for other offences than no ticket. The ticket inspection often
finds credit card fraud, drugs etc.

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?

They do. I've seen them at work on several occasions.
