All aboard for another chaotic journey through the UK’s railway system with “Fare Dodgers: At War with the Law,” returning to Channel 5 this Monday, May 26th at 9:00 PM GMT. Episode 2 takes us to Surrey where the pursuit of an alleged fare dodger is on. Someone’s apparently managed to rack up almost £20,000 in unpaid tickets, and Transport for London is determined to catch them.
Elsewhere, Vauxhall station becomes the stage for a crackdown on “short farers” – those trying to sneak a cheaper ride by purchasing tickets for a shorter distance than their actual journey. Revenue Protection officers Michelle and Lucky are tasked with exposing these cunning commuters.
Meanwhile, at London Waterloo station, prepare for some “explosive encounters.” Officers Jack and Jack brace themselves for a potentially volatile situation as they confront a passenger. And Harry faces his own trial, taking on a barrier basher – someone trying to force their way through without paying.
With over 125,000 alleged fare dodgers supposedly operating across the city every day, the frontline enforcement officers and undercover investigators have their work cut out for them.
