It's well worth the risk not paying.
Pro tip too if you get on a french bus just walk on, found they don't even bother either
UK trains are utter ****, London underground (tube) is GOAT though, way better than any other system i've been to. NY might be better as it 24h. Rome is close but the bastards went on strike while I was there and almost made me miss my flight.
The ticket people are complete arseholes jobs worth ****s in the UK too, once got stopped only had the ticket park - lost the seat reservation part as was half cut. There was 8 of us and we all had just the ticket. The prick tried to charge us £100 or w/e it was because we didn't have valid tickets because the reservation was lost. Long story short he threaten to get the police to get on at the next available station. After about 10-15 minutes of arguing and almost getting hit he eventually moved on.
Could image that catches a lot of people out and they end up paying for it for the fear of getting chucked off the train. Arsehole.
