Quite often people are seen juggling carriages between stations. Example: 
Inspectors are in car 1, fare evaders are in car 3. Inspectors cross into 
car 2, and the fare evaders at the next station will run from car 3 to car 
1. At one point I saw the inspectors do one better though. They went from 
car 1 into car 2, then back into car 1 for any new people who jumped on (-:
