Moment commuter who dodged 20,000 of rail fares is snared at London Waterloo station
Briefly

A fare dodger who accumulated nearly £20,000 in undetected fare evasion was apprehended at London Waterloo station. Utilizing a 16-17 Saver Railcard he was not entitled to, the man was found to have been purchasing only a fraction of his required travel tickets from Surrey. The episode from Channel 5's documentary 'Fare Dodgers: At War with the Law' shows undercover officers tracking his movements as he controversially used e-tickets bought from closer stops to avoid paying the full fare. After being intercepted at the platform, he was given a caution and questioned about his ticket choices.
The man was apprehended by investigators at Waterloo. The man featured in the Channel 5 documentary was spotted travelling on the train by members of the team, before others waited on the platform at Waterloo to intercept him.
The investigator said: So what I'm going to do, I'm going to give you a caution and I'm going to ask you some questions, yeah? The fare dodger was spotted travelling on the train by members of the team.
