Train fare dodger tells staff he’ll ‘get away with it’ before definitely not getting away with it

A fare dodger told staff he ‘would get away with it’ minutes before realising he wouldn’t.

In a clip shown on Channel 5’s Fare Dodgers: At War with the Law, the passenger, shown wearing a black jacket and hood, is questioned by a revenue inspection officer after taking a journey for which he hadn’t paid.

The man, in a blasé attitude, tells the inspector he won’t be able to stop him dodging fares, saying ‘he will get away with it’.

When he was finally handed a fine, he told staff he ‘couldn’t give a toss’ andsaid he would go to court.

He was issued with a fine totalling £55.60. If not paid within 21 days, the charge nearly doubles to £105.60.

The passenger argued with the officer named Sam at the ticket gates inside London Waterloo.

He is asked: ”So you’re just going to fare evade and try and get away with it – is that what you are saying?’

‘I will get away it’, the defiant passenger replies.

The fare dodger is promptly advised that footage of him and the conversation has been taped on camera and will be sent over to British Transport Police.

But he still attempted to goad the officer into letting him off, telling him: ‘You might as well let me go, man.’

When asked his name and address, he replied: ‘I don’t even know how to spell my name, I’ll be honest.’

He was then shown threatening to walk out and, despite being reminded that he was being recorded, he said: ‘That doesn’t bother me.

‘I don’t know why I’m standing here. I could just walk away to be honest.’

Worried that the passenger would force his way out of the barriers, the inspector calls security officers.

After realising his escape route had been cut off, the fare evader relented and handed over his personal details, allowing the inspector to verify his identity.

But when he is finally handed a fixed penalty notice, he defiantly answers: ‘I couldn’t give a toss.

‘I’m not paying that.’

He later qualified: ‘I’m not paying for transport.’

The inspector further explained that failure to pay may result in a prosecution being pursued.

‘Lovely. I love that’, the fare dodger replied.

Remaining defiant, he continued: ‘I’m not keeping it, because I’m not paying it. I’ll go to court.’

How are fare dodgers caught on the Tube?

TfL said it uses an intelligence-led approach with advanced tools like an Irregular Travel Analysis Platform (ITAP).

It combs through ticketing and journey data, passengers’ information, CCTV and travel patterns to spot fare evaders racking up the biggest bills.

Around 3.4 per cent of passengers on TfL services travel without paying the correct fare.

The transport authority spent almost £22 million on a fare dodging crackdown last year.

The Channel 5 series previously showed another fare dodger being caught in the act after evading £3,500 in unpaid tickets.

He was found having used a card with no money on it to repeatedly open station gates without having paid a penny in fares.
