LONDON: Former British prime minister Tony Blair was left red-faced when he was caught travelling on a train without a ticket and said he had no cash to pay the fare. Mr Blair, who has earned about pound stg. 500,000 on the speaking circuit since leaving office in June, was confronted by a ticket inspector as he travelled to Heathrow to catch a flight to the US on Monday, the Daily Mail reported last night. He said he had no cash for the pound stg. 24.50 ($51.27) fare because money an aide had given him was no longer in his pocket.
