How do "getting away with it" and "forced to pay 140" work together?


Because you can in theory be fined up to £2000 and forced off the train

Yes. It was easy. Clearly the problem here is that Halo needs to work out more.


This is true regardless of any train-racing shenanigans. Christmas is brutal for that summer bikini bod yknowwhatimsayin

EDIT: Yeah I forgot how terrible the British railway system is. Here in 'merica it's fucking stellar. Probably because we built them out of a true sense of Manifest Destiny, and you horrible heathens didn't have God's approval to destroy everything in your path in the name of religion!


Well there's that, and the fact that the value of upgrading them is still pretty low for us. Even with our shitty trains you can still easily travel anywhere in the country within 12 hours max. Hell, my train from London to Edinburgh is only 4.5-5.5 hours usually. So there's little motivation to upgrade (depressing considering we invented trains in the first place...) But obviously in the US the story is somewhat different and better tech is required.

That isn't too impressive though, is it? I mean, your country is itty bitty.

We may have recklessly laid train tracks but for anyone not on the east coast that means nothing because there's no trains here.

Probably pretty rarely, but they could also have chucked me off the train in the middle of nowhere. Being able to buy the right ticket it just about the most positive outcome that could have come of being caught.

That's sort of my point, yes. We're a tiny country so we can have shitty trains and it doesn't make that much difference to one's ability to travel around.

In any case, I assume you're relatively none the worse for wear, and alive, despite the ordeal. That's good.
