LM▸ and Central trains before them have done "name and shame" for years!

Staff checking tickets at Filton again yesterday morning and this morning, though not as mob-handed as a couple of weeks ago.

Check on the increase in numbers now the students are back full time.
I don't think there was a need for a BTP▸ presence the second time around, I'm not even sure they were there all week the last time.

There appears to be a Revenue Protection presence every weekday morning now at FAW. Presumably, FGW▸ must have been losing alot of revenue. There were a couple of spot checks in December, and this must have highlighted the issue. Is this a permanent set up, or just temporary?

Yes.  I'm not being funny, honest! However, to confirm that either way could rather defeat the object of the revenue protection exercise, couldn't it? Chris. |

I doubt the local scroates will be awake for the morning peak anyway. Interesting times ahead methinks and maybe if it shows the real usage figures for services allowing further upgrades to stock and the station itself to match demand. If everyone actually pays for the services then who knows, they may actually install proper waiting rooms and a full time booking office (even if only a cabin). |

It would seem that the RPO barrier at FIT has become a regular January event. http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=8320.0Interesting to note there are no BTP▸ this year. Although a few 'Govt employees' have probably been caught, my impression is that the longest queue for tickets are people heading for the college in the other direction. |

Heard a rumour that FIT will be "barriered" every day from now on (weekdays), saw the vacancy list a few weeks back and there were RPI▸ jobs advertised at Worcester and Redhill so checks on the Cotswold line may become more frequent.

good. Hopefully FGW▸ have cottoned on to the fact that RP usually pays for itself.

(cough)  Through my work with the Severnside Community Rail Partnership, I'm involved in various aspects of 'ticketing and revenue protection' in this area, so I can offer you some 'inside information' on what is happening. I can assure you that FGW▸ are very well aware of the significant level of revenue lost through ticketless travel, and they are taking substantial steps to address the issue. Revenue protection staff have been recruited and trained, and are now being deployed at stations. This has already been seen at Filton Abbey Wood this week, for example. As to exactly where, when and for how long any such 'barriers' will be put in place - well, I obviously cannot say.  |

I noticed this yesterday when I was traveling to Bristol TM‡ on the 09:30 Cardiff - Portsmouth Harbour.
The conducters were quick yesterday taking fares on the Severn Beach line when I travelled yesterday to my surprise on a class 158 (Not what I was expecting mind you)

Maybe you can keep on at them to allow the TVM▸ 's in the Central area to accept cash again! |
