What you write will depend on what they say to you first, which is why we need to see the letter. You can't answer an accusation unless you know what the accusation is first. So for now, sit tight and try to put it out of your mind. They'll get in touch when they get in touch, and you can start...

Assuming you'#re dealing with GWR then there's a very good chance you'll be able to sort this out of court. They will send you a fairly threatening sounding letter in which you will be invited to share your side of events. This will be your opportunity to own up and apologise. Assuming you...

Only two comments; 1, drop out the word "reasonable" in "reasonable administrative costs". You're not in a position where you can determine whether their costs are reasonable or not; you either pay what they ask or it goes to court. 2, The penultimate paragraph ("Once again...") is repetition...

@Oldgaloot It's not entirely relevant to this person's thread - you'll find the answer you require here on the forum: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/swr-cracking-down-on-vauxhall-waterloo-doughnuts-short-fares-also-gtr.305495/ and on the Evening Standard's website...

Which train company are you dealing with? Without a valid railcard, your ticket was not valid. However, most train operating companies will deal with this out of court in the form of a financial settlement if you cooperate with them and if you haven't come to their attention before. Assuming...

If they offer a settlement, you can usually expect it to be made up of the anytime single fare for the journey undertaken, plus an administration fee of somewhere around £150. You will likely be expected to make this payment in one sum. Whether they look at this one incident in isolation, or...

As you've not had other responses, I'll chip in and say I think that's a reasonable letter. Assuming you're sending it by post, you should really send it tracked so you can check it got there - Royal Mail Tracked 24 or 48 should do fine. Good luck!

Great outcome, thanks for coming back to let us know!

I'm trying to track down recent 747 visits at Bournemouth Airport. Best I can find is TF-AAK (ex Air France / Iron Maiden / Saudia / Air Atlanta Icelandic) and VG-BZV (ex Virgin / Longtail / JetOneX), both visiting in January/February of 2022. The former worked a few flights from Bournemouth...

Right. GWR aren't going to care about your personal circumstances; to be quite blunt, it's not their problem. All of the above posters are right, the letter is far too long. Here are some edits. This leaves you with: That's a good start for a letter, but it is just that, a start. I would...

The Swanage Railway appears to have one station only; Corfe Castle. The others are missing.

A few years back, South West Trains had a pretty bad summer air-con wise, and there was a fairly in-depth discussion on here of the air con problems in their 158/159s. If I remember correctly, it was a combination of old air con systems originally designed to run on old (presumably R11) gas not...

Not enough information to provide assistance. Please see this thread: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/please-read-before-posting-in-disputes-prosecutions.77759/ and post the requested information. On the question of a draft letter; this subforum has hundreds of pages of posts, so if you...

Right now, they're dealing with this single incident. If they review your history later on, then deal with it later on. Don't bring it to their attention to it now; just deal with the matter at hand. The forum's standard advice is as follows: Firstly, you committed a criminal offence by...
