Not worth it nower days as they do random ticket inspection with portable ticket readers to track the journey.
"And I would have got away with it , if it were not for those pesky ticket readers"

Not up here. Still all done visually.

The theory was that SKY had a lab in Israel for new technology/encryption and they had been tasked with cracking the OnDigital codes. Once it was done they set if free on t'internet to bring down their competitor.

Slightly counter productive as they were also a customer, delivering Sky content to people who couldn't/wouldn't get a dish up, but their encryption was so bad (and only updated monthly) that there were guys in the Barra's standing in the street shouting 'get yer on digital cairds here, twenty five quid). A 'friend of mine' had a shop in Uddingston at the time and supplemented his takings selling and reprogramming OnDig cards in both a wholesale and retail capacity

and it doesnt work half the time.

Buy weekly ticket on train and it doesnt work until about the last day of use. Right PITA. Ticket gates just glance at it and open it for you.

Yeah - I had an off peak ticket the other day. It didn't work in the morning because it was before 9:00am (My train was 9:11am and I wanted to go via the on-platform café), but it did let me out of the destination statation. Neither worked on the way back

Got given this a few months back, after I'd accidentally lost my ticket and managed to sweet talk the Ticket Office girl:



The Ticket Inspector admitted he'd never seen one before and gave it a very good look over!
