Just a quick heads up. After my initial correspondence with Northern, I received a letter ~ 3 weeks later asking for the standard £80 + fare. Curiously though, their initial letter clearly stated that legal action would be taken for "alleged contravention of railway regulations", if written...

Hi, I've just received my first correspondence from Northern Rail today, and I'm not too sure how to respond. It's from the Debt Recovery and Prosecutions Unit and they're asking for my version of events before proceeding. They're informing me that Regulations of Railway Act and Railway...
