Dozens of passengers fined for fare dodging at Walsall Railway Station
Dozens of travellers were fined for fare evasion at Walsall Railway Station and are now facing a £100 penalty.
Safer Travel Police, a team of officers from West Midlands Police and British Transport Police, conducted a knife arch operation and also patrolled the venue.
The 63 passengers who were fined either had no ticket or the wrong ticket and will now have to pay a £100 penalty plus the price of the full single fare for the journey.
However, if the fine is paid within 21 days, the penalty fare is reduced to £50 plus the price of the single fare.
The police team also said that they obtained "excellent intel" as part of their patrol.
