What is the fare in toy train from New jalpaiguri to Darjeeling?

May have inadvertently dodged a fare on train service London?

• I was recently in London and I was trying to buy a ticket but the person behind the counter had very bad english and probably couldn't understand my accent (Irish). There person told me to got to "platform x", so I thought I'd have to buy the ticket there. There wasn't a booth there and i would have missed my train if i had to walk back. I've never been in London or the UK before and I'm not that familiar with major train stations. I had an oyster travel card with me (not in my name, a relations one) and scanned it on the walkway (it wasn't a shutter, just something you walk by). I got to my destination and scanned my card to get out. Then scanned it again to get in but the conductor said it was out od credit. So I bought a ticket for my next interchange. There was a conductor on my next train and was checking everyone. My question is, what would have happened if there was a conductor on my first train. If I just showed my oyster card would that have been enough. How would they know if there was enough credit on it? After reading about that "Fare dodger" in Scotland it occurred to me I might have dodged a fare without realising it.

• Answer:

  It's lucky that I live up north. At night I never pay the fare and if the conductor were to come on, I just pay him the normal price - like nothing was the matter. I've seen that Scottish video as well and thought they were all cnuts.
