Thanks Dave, Llanigraham, I wasn't aware that I could change my mind about attending? Are you sure it's an option, it seemed quite cut and dried on that piece of paper you have to sign - which is why i put it off until the last moment. For the other comments - my remorse is immaterial...

Thanks to you and Agent C. I've just been to Crewe to drop off my paperwork saying I won't attend, so thats that I suppose. How can you negotiate an out of court settlement, once you're in court? The legal system is beyond me. It is also beyond me that an issue of £6.60 should result in a...

Well excuse me for asking for advice. I am quite well aware of the fact I broke the law thank you very much - and I won't be attending court, but I will very much enjoy my day at work, as I won't be travelling by train.

Well it seems to me that if they gave me two separate summons then they should give me two separate sheets for my plea. I count it as a plus I read any of it at all, what's the deal with taking 3 months to respond to my initial letter, then giving me two weeks notice of a court date. I...

The second part isn't on the summons sheet, the bit you quoted there was on the statement of facts. Ah, there are 2 different summons sheets! The second sheet reads: That you on 'date', between Whitchurch and Crewe did travel upon a Virgin Railway service without having previously paid...

It says exactly: "That you on 'date', were on the railway, having travelled on the railway between Whitchurch and Crewe, and failed to obtain a ticket or pay the fare due before travelling on a train. Contrary to Byelaw 18.1 of the Railway Byelaws made under Section 219 of the Transport Act...

I understand about the Byelaw, but I am confused to the wording on the summons letter I have. It says I am summoned to answer the following information (roughly paraphrased) "I was on the railway, having travelled on the railway between Whitchurch and Crewe and failed to obtain a ticket or pay...

I do believe i have mentioned several times that i walked out the front door. I'd really love to know how it is possible to walk out of a station by devious means. Let us examine Crewe, speaking as a regular-ish passenger there is the front door that has always been there and the perfectly...

In general I have no reason to respond to many of the comments in this feed, as I was not looking for sympathy or your understanding, just some advice - you have the facts needed to answer my questions. However you got on my nerves against my better judgement. I'd like to know more about the...

Thanks Dave, that's really helpful :cry:

Perhaps you know something I don't? - I can't see any option of paying and leaving it at that. I have a court date so from the information in the 20 or so sheets of paper they sent me seems to indicate that the the court case will go ahead unless i plead not guilty and demand witnesses to...

We have an hourly service at the best of times. I have a 25 minute walk to work, which means i only just get in in time if i leave the station immediately. When the train is late, I am late. The earlier train would get me in one hour earlier - before my office actually opens. At home time...

Hi, just looking for a bit of advice and information. I travelled from Whitchurch, Shropshire to Crewe, and left the station at Crewe without having a ticket. Whitchurch is unmanned, and having only cash that day, I couldn't buy from the machine, missed the conductor on the train, and didn't...
