Had my first 'revenue protection' inspection yesterday...
It's happening a lot more frequently recently.
The service delivery manager got on the 20 a few weeks back at Sunderland and was checking people's tickets I have a buzzfare on my key so they have scanner things now. He also got on the X7 at Seaham recently, checking people's tickets when boarding for some reason?
These new 'Revenue Protection' persons got on the 20 the other day and was scanning/checking tickets. First one had, he screamed for everyone to produce tickets, charming!
In the past few months I've had them on 60/61/20/X7 seem to be cracking down on it.
Don't think I mentioned at the time (and I'm going a little of topic) but a Nexus man got on 60 at the Mill Inn few months back and was questioning peoples ticket options/destinations/other bus connections etc. I did find it odd that a nexus man was questioning people boarding in Seaham, I mean after county boundary into Ryhope yeah okay.
