This is the moment an Elizabeth line fare dodger was caught in the act by ticket inspectors after evading £1,650 in ticket costs over nearly 250 journeys.
The passenger who regularly commuted from Harold Wood or Romford to Stratford was confronted with 35 pages of evidence dating back eight months.
One of his common methods while travelling through East London was to pay for a fare in Zones 2 to 3 only, rather than the full fare for his journey in Zones 2 to 6.
Stratford station is in Zone 2, while Harold Wood and Romford are both in Zone 6.
There is a big price difference between travelling in Z2-3 instead of Z2-6 - at £33.50 against £55.90 for a weekly travelcard, or £128.70 and £214.70 for a monthly pass.
