Revenue Protection

[JoNi]

If Swift is going to be the Oystercard of the Midlands, events like this ought to be able to be consigned to history.

How does oyster    work. How do inspectors no if a person has tapped in or not.

They have validators to check credit totals in the same way staff on railway operators such as Heathrow connect check Oysters.

THERE IS A NEW PAGE that has launched since

So by actively posting on this page giving locations of revenue protection, you are in fact encouraging the fare dodgers and in turn partly responsible for my bus fare going up each year. Good job!

It may sound slightly harsh, but it's true, you should think about your actions before you post on there.

To be honest, that page doesn't look very well used anyway.

Don't see many recently. Only one I've encountered is in Stourbridge where the inspector stands in front of the doors checking tickets. Driver got rid of one in lye earlier after the driver shouted where's your ticket? Soon came back down the stairs and walked off.

They've been around Solihull a lot recently. Usually at the stops on Blossomfield Road after the College heading out of Solihull.

I've seen them in Sutton Coldfield recently as well - at While Road, Duke Street.

I remember seeing a few on the way into Wolverhampton on a 126 not too long back, they ended up getting a free ride into the bus station after they'd checked the bus I was on.

The revenue team is supposed to be going back to being garage based soon from what I was told.

Not sure if you've seen it, but there's a thread in the Coventry section named "Ticket Evaders" - provided with a link to an article which has stated that inspectors have now been "permenantly based at Coventry and in the Black Country".

Guess that's another source of 'evidence'.

The revenue team is still fully based at Miller Street, and is staying at Miller Street, but there is one team in Coventry and one in the black country every day
