    Stopped by a Transport Officer

    Ok, thats probably not the best way to do things. I just wanted clarification of things I have read on other websites from people more in the know. I have updated the draft letter based on peoples comments, here it is: Again I have left off the first and last paragraphs, any feedback would be...

    Stopped by a Transport Officer

    I have actually apologized and stated that I will be happy to pay administrative costs to northern in the first/last paragraph (not posted here). So would it just be best in this case to just repeat what was said at the time? Its just that i do not wish to incriminate myself further by...

    Ok thanks for the response, whilst I wait for legal advice this is the draft that I have written of the statement, I have missed off the opening and closing paragraphs but in these I have just basically apologized for my mistake and the incident. Could somebody give me their opinion on this, at...

    Ok, Firstly thanks to the moderators for re-opening this thread. Today i received the letter that I have been expecting from Northern Rail, basically it is similar to the other generic letters that others have been receiving over the past few weeks on here. (Therefore I shall not post it here)...

    Stopped by a Transport Officer

    Ok, thanks for that I just wanted clarification on this, that is all. I think we have now established that it is most likely that the train company are going to try to prosecute for intent to evade payment, looking at some older threads it seems that it has been recommended that an attempt at an...

    So it is best just to stick to what I said at the time? And just offer my apologies initially, and then see where it goes from there? Before trying to do anything else.

    Ferret, however I was never told I was under caution, surely they must make it clear that you are under caution and that anything you say could be used against you? Also as I am expecting to have to write a witness statement to give me side of the story, would it not just be best (considering...

    Stopped by a Transport Officer

    Apologies for this I did mean an out of court settlement (A payment outside of court), I understand that Northern cannot impose a fine. It does seem that the best action I could take is to seek legal advice on this as I said before this is really worrying me so I think somebody in more the know...

    Ferret, at no point did the rail officer state that I was under caution in fact he seemed quite relaxed about it only saying that he would give my details to Northern Rail and they would contact me to hear my side of the story, if I failed to respond to the correspondence it would then become a...

    Stopped by a Transport Officer

    I think I have already said this but I shall repeat it, as I approached the doors I did see a guy checking tickets, but I assumed he was a Northern Rail employee (whom I could get a ticket from), but before I could get through the doors I was stopped by a guy who had been behind me (I did not...

    Stopped by a Transport Officer

    I did not know there was no ticket barriers there, after I got to the footbridge I just went towards the nearest exit, at the time I did not realize how serious it was so I did not push it any further. However when I was stopped I did try to make it clear that I was looking for somewhere to pay...

    Stopped by a Transport Officer

    He didn't actually ask me to go and get a ticket, he just said that there were ticket barriers on the other side of the station, however after I got my ticket I did not go back to show him it, I just left via the nearest exit. After you buy a ticket you cannot get back through to where I was...

    Stopped by a Transport Officer

    As you can probably tell I am new here and have a big question. Basically earlier this week I was traveling from Moston Station to Manchester Victoria, as Moston is an unmanned station with no ticket machine or other means to by tickets I was unable to get a ticket before I got on the train. I...
