5\u2019s latest season of \u2018Fare Dodgers: At War with the Law\u2019 will feature Nottingham Express Transit for the first time. Produced by Middlechild TV the series features various transport operators as they attempt to crackdown on fare evasion.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In this latest series \u2013 which is on 5 every Monday at 2100, NEY feature from the second episode onwards which will broadcast on 10th<\/sup> August 2026 \u2013 the cameras shadow NET customer experience agents to discover first hand the daily challenge they face keeping the network running while clamping down on fare evasion.<\/p>\n

Sarah Turner, Managing Director of NET, said: \u201cWorking with the production team to cast a light on the incredible work our agents do to keep the network moving has been very rewarding. Managing instances of attempted fare evasion and anti-social behaviour form an important part of the bigger end goal that we’re always working towards – creating a safe and reliable network that people can depend on every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe series also reaffirms the legal authority held by NET customer experience agents to enforce the rules and regulations that protect the safety and wellbeing of everyone travelling across the network, while highlighting the efforts of all our customer experience agents who we\u2019re incredibly proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amongst the episodes which will feature NET (five in total) the cameras will follow a plain clothes operation on the network where two men were caught travelling without a ticket. It will also show them working with Nottinghamshire Police to apprehend a young male who was suspected of fare evasion and antisocial behaviour.<\/p>\n

Sarah added: \u201cAlongside tackling anti-social behaviour, reducing fare evasion is another critical part of ensuring our network is safe to use. Thousands of people rely on the trams to get to work, visit family and more, so it is incredibly important that people are purchasing their tickets to support this vital infrastructure in the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope this series helps to raise awareness of the impact fare evasion has on the whole network, our passengers and the wider city, while also illustrating the fact that fare evasion is an important issue that\u2019s not simply a harmless crime.\u201d<\/p>\n
