TWO Scams on ONE Train: The Stansted Express Uncovered

Channel: subwayexpress
Player
Description
The last place you'd expect a scam in London is on a train, but this is exactly the case. Over the last few years, the Stansted Express has scammed passengers of £73 for making a honest mistake, and then more recently increased their return fare by 21% without telling anyone.

Is this the biggest railway scam in the UK?
