This happened like 2 years back.
Me and 2 friends wanted to watch the new Bollywood movie, Players, which was recently launched.
We had a low budget( Used to live off 100 pounds a month in boarding school) and we were supposed to take the train from Blackburn-Manchester. They were 2 years older than me, while I was 16.
We boarded the train, without tickets. We were discussing what to do in case the conductor comes and asks for tickets, I got an idea- " Lets act if we are sleeping, I am sure he won't disturb us". We were in the last carriage and had a clear view of the door which leads to our carriage. I leaned on my friend and he leaned on the last one and just closed our eyes. Conductor was a nice dude, didn't wake us up.
Reached Manchester Victoria, they have the ticket control machines and 2 ticket inspectors, so we had to walk an extra 5 minutes just to avoid the ticket control machine, through McDonald and the car park.
After watching the movie, on the way back, we decided to use the same technique. Looked out for the conductor, when he entered the carriage, went " Sleep " again. This guy was a prikc- he woke us up by shaking us. We tried our best not to open our eyes, in case he wanders off.
At last, he shouted " Please show your tickets or get off the train" We 3 suddenly " Woke up", everyone was staring at us and we started counting pennies and pound coins for the ticket.
So much to avoid paying for the fare, and as everyone probably knows, return fare is almost 60% cheaper than One-way- LMAO.
After that, I decided to get myself a Student card, 50% on train fares.
And, I sold 1 Gold Leaf Cigarette to a drunk white guy for a quid, he was desperate for a ciggie, one dabbi costs like 90 rupees here. Feel sorry for him, Gold Leaf is a strong one!
