Ticket barriers and the law

Hello,

I'd be interested to hear peoples' thoughts on the following. Would be
particularly interesting if anyone has any example cases they can cite!.

What offence is committed by someone *in possession of a valid ticket*
who jumps over or otherwise avoids an automated barrier at a railway
(not tube) station?

What about where the ticket barrier is manned, but the person (likewise
in possession of a valid ticket) walks past/through without offering
the ticket for inspection?

Does it make any difference in law if the person is challenged by the
barrier staff, but ignores the challenge?

What about exiting a barrier'ed station in an unconventional fashion
- eg by climbing a wall, using a staff-only exit, hiding in a bag of
rubbish, or being winched aboard a helicopter - likewise while in
possession of a valid ticket.

Does it make any difference *in law* if the person is in possession
of a valid ticket (eg a season - removing the possibility of fraudulent
re-use) but, rather than offering it up for inspection, offers an
invalid ticket?

Thanks in advance for any replies...

Cheers.
