Transport for London (TfL) is set to expand a trial on the London Underground to tackle the issue of fare dodging after successfully linking the artificial intelligence (AI) software with its network of station cameras. The trial was initially tested at Willesden Green station on the Jubilee line.

TfL loses more than £130m a year in income due to fare dodging, with about 3.9% of journeys being unpaid.
