A rail operator is threatening to name and shame persistent fare dodgers in a campaign to reduce ticketless travel. From Monday, extra revenue officers with Central Trains will travel on trains throughout the West Midlands and man ticket barriers.
Anyone caught travelling without a ticket will be issued with a �10 on-the-spot penalty fine.
The operator says posters featuring pictures of offenders may also be put up at stations.
Ticketless travel with Central Trains currently runs at about 6% and the firm says it also wants rail users to blow the whistle on offenders.
