I am sorry Paul is right.
It can not be fare evasion if you have bought a ticket, and it is valid.
The rules and regs for Valid - A ticket with an expiry date, correct zones, not expired, concession
card if required.
I have a monthly ticket expiring on 31 March, zone 123, concession. I have a valid concession
card, so therefore a VALID ticket. If you have a valid ticket, then it can not be fare evasion.
(however I am still in breach of reg 206, for not validation my ticket each time, but I would
happly go to court to prove I don't need to validate a valid ticket)
