Hi all,
A friend of mine was on a London bus and a revenue inspector got on.
The Revenue Inspector asked my friend "What station did you buy this
travelcard from". The revenue inspector also asked "How much did you
pay for this ticket"

It was £5.10 and they said that they paid around £6 at the time.
The revenue inspector said that this was the wrong amount.
Also they didn't give him the correct answer as to where they bought
it.

He has my friend's address and he said he will report them to London
Transport.

I think London Transport will go along the lines of buying a ticket
from a tout.

If my friend really did buy a travel card from a tout for £1, would
they get in big trouble??

Is finding a travelcard on the floor less serious than buying one from
a tout?

Can you get in deep trouble for transferring a ticket?
Is fare evading on a bus less serious than fare evading on the tube?

Does anyone know what happens next, will they get a summons,
if it goes to court, what do they say or do?

Thanks in advance.

Can't see how they could prove anything - I wouldn't worry.
