I will be getting a intention to prosecution letter from Govia Thameslink

Hi guys just wanted give an update I got told to pay £414 I believe they actually investigated the other days I did and gave me a settlement sum without me needing to write a letter so I’m happy with this

It seems a bit silly of them though not to provide a breakdown of the journeys they took into account when drawing up the settlement. If GTR or indeed any other train company later discovers some other journeys before this date where you hadn't paid the correct fare, you can now say they were all included within this settlement and no train company can do anything more. If they had instead provided a list of the specific journeys, then if others were discovered later, the railway could come back and ask for more. So it's a surprising example of the railway not acting in its own best interest.

Sorry they actually did post it I just forgot to share it but it did I cover the 11 days I mentioned I did the fare evasion

I think this sounds like a good result and less that what you would have needed to pay for a solicitor. Just make sure you always purchase the correct tickets in the future
