One law for the rich and another for the poor :nope:

A rail union has claimed a hedge fund manager was able to "buy silence" after he repaid £42,550 in unpaid fares to Southeastern - but remained anonymous and avoided court action.

How far could you go on £42,000?

Twenty-one trips from London to Venice on the Orient Express, at £1,990 per person including meals
Fifty-two return flights from London Heathrow to Auckland, New Zealand
Eighty first-class train journeys from Penzance to Inverness
Six-hundred-and-eight return trips to Paris on Eurostar




I remember my student years in Ljubljana.
I think I managed to dodge one fare in five

Nope, I can't buy myself silence :O:
I just have to rely on being a sneaky bastard and never get caught

I payed for the fare.
The station where I got on had no cashier, so tickets were bought on the train
