Fare dodger who forged first class rail tickets told to pay back £17,000
A train fare dodger who parked in executive car parks and enjoyed first class travel using DIY fake tickets has been ordered to repay more than £17,000.
Mark Mason, 44, travelled around the country with the the rail tickets he produced at home with a printer and photographic paper.
But police caught up with him when train staff noticed discrepancies on his tickets including missing dates and emblems.
A search of the fraudster's home led to the discovery of his forging apparatus including genuine tickets, glossy photographic paper, computers and printers, as well as craft knives, scissors and a cutting board.
