A barrister who dodged train fares for two years has been brought to justice
Dr Peter Barnett, 44, was given a 16-week suspended sentence after swindling a rail company out of £5,892.
Australian-born Dr Barnett, who won a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University, had been accused of avoiding £19,689.
But his lawyer Angus Bunyan argued successfully that the figure – based on the full single fare for each dodged journey – was too high.
