A "Losers" poster on display at Walkergate station on the Tyne and Wear Metro. These posters are part of Metro operator's Nexus's "naming and shaming" policy for fare dodgers. The poster publishes the names and addresses of those people caught traveling without a ticket in or from the local area. The headlines read:<br>
<center><H3>Your local Losers</h3><br>
<h5>To February 2005, 331 convicted local fare dodgers paid £12,915 in fines and cash</h5><p>
<h4>Don't be a loser - buy a ticket</h4></center>
