Dr Peter Barnett blew himself up after being caught by a ticket inspector . Cheated the system running from home to London ’ s Marylebone station . The Australian - born lawyer was convicted for an identical offence in 2010 . He pleaded guilty to six counts of fraud by false representation , which carries maximum penalty of ten years in jail . Following publication of this verdict , solicitors representing Jonathan Burrows have contacted us to say that while £ 43,000 was paid to Southeastern trains to settle the matter out of court , this sum does not reflect the value of the unpaid tickets alone , which can be measured in hundreds rather than thousands of pounds .
