  Right.... and?
  
  I mean - what happens next?
  How do they know?
  What do you text?
  
  More info or else this will be filed under - 'lack of joined up thinking'

  I suspect that they might then route their ticket inspectors to that train the next day.

  "I've suspect that bloke sitting there hasn't got a ticket"
  
  How will they know?!
  What's the communication on the poster? Does it ask for particular info?
  Could you trick it? Tell them you saw one on a different train/route and then dodge them the following day?

  Is there another number you can text when the people in question spot you and administer a sound kicking?

  That might be a good additional service offering!

  How much does one have to pay to report a fare dodger? What's in it for those that do the informing (other than the hope that the dodger will be caught and pay a fine?) If enough get caught, pay fines and start paying in future, will National Express bring their prices down?

  The sending them to another train is a good one... I think that this is a bit of a silly service as its doing someone else's job for them.
  
  Why not go the whole hog and follow them to work / home, take a pic and mms it to them...
  
  Would the networks, who are the biggest robbers after all, reduce fares if everyone paid...
  
  I don't think so....

  It's a nice idea but how do they know what train you're on? And what's stopping someone who is fare dodging from texting a deliberate hoax to make sure the inspectors go on another train?
