TikTok fare dodger: Boastful evader caught and fined

A fare evader who shared tips on TikTok on how to avoid paying for train journeys has been caught and fined. The fraudulent traveller shared numerous videos on her social media account boasting about how she avoided paying and urged her followers to do the same. After an investigation was launched by East Midlands Railway's Fraud and Prosecutions team, the fare evader was eventually caught, prosecuted under the Regulation of Railways Act and fined £773 - she also now has a criminal record.
