Like the Northern line Guard who got a friend (non staff) to take over the train for him while he went to sell badges etc. at some do on Clapham Common. I think he got found out when an Area Manager got on the train and asked the friend who he was (unless the driver reported it when he arrived at the terminus and realised it wasn't his Guard on the back).

Such things have gone on over the years, I recall a station foreman handing his jacket and hat to a signals wireman and asking him to sit in the TCB and 'hold the fort' while I went and made a phone call. Basically it was ticket collecting for the last two or three trains and I'm sure it happened much more often than the odd occasion when I witnessed it in the 1970s. Best ever was the chap caught clocking off dozens of staff at a depot in the 1980s. He was wearing LT blues and boots and used to turn up at union meetings but he wasn't even an LU employee. Staff were allegedly paying him to clock them in and out! |
