Hi all, Ive read various threads on here before but now find myself making one.
Who thought the day would come when Id find myself in a predicament as well.

Long story short - can northern rail revenue protection find your identity if you dont give them any details, but they've scanned your e ticket with their mobile devices?

They will most likely be able to do that, yes. You've left a big digital footprint of purchase history etc.

By purchase history do you mean other tickets Ive bought using trainline?

Do they do anything with this? Hypothetically could/would they look into a persons previous tickets to see if they were valid etc?

Thank you.

Whats the worst outcome a person has received after a purchase history check?

Assuming hypothetically the purchase history led to a discovery of multiple invalid journeys. Multiple.

Why not go to the relevant thread, give details and await replies from those good people that can offer help and advice?

Given you've said it's Northern, they're usually happy to take people to court and you get a nice criminal record to boot.

Though you need to start a threat in the correct section of the forum to get correct advice
