There is often speculation in this forum regarding the consequences for medical/legal/professional people who are caught with an invalid ticket.

This consultant was prosecuted, and then suspended for 6 months by the British Medical Council.


"An NHS doctor at Great Ormond Street Hospital has been suspended from his job for six months after using his wife's free Transport for London (TfL) travel card. Dr James Ip was found to have acted dishonestly by an investigation by the British Medical Council. The regulator said his actions risked undermining the reputation of the profession."
