'Train rage' pensioner

This morning's newspapers carry the story of the 66 year old man arrested and then fined a total of £965 by a court for "Disorderly conduct" and "Failing to show a ticket".  Rather than try and summarise the facts here, I figure that you'd be better reading the press reports yourself:

What do you think?   Would this happen on our line?

Would London Midland ticket inspectors wake someone and demand to see their ticket?  I can only speak as I find, and I can say that the inspectors that I have seen on the trains over the last year or two tend not to disturb people who appear to be genuinely asleep.  Common sense prevails...
