    Train fine/prosecution for not producing a ticket?

    I promised that I'd post on this forum when I got a reply so here I am. Got a letter in the post this morning; looks a standard letter which made no appropriate comments to the letter I sent them in reply to their first letter. Although I’m a bit disappointed they made no effort to personally...

    Train fine/prosecution for not producing a ticket?

    Any idea how long it will take to receive a reply letter back from the train investigation company, if I get a reply at all? It took them over a month to send the first letter, from the day I was cautioned at the station to the day that I received the letter (even though I was told within 5...

    Train fine/prosecution for not producing a ticket?

    I've been actively replying on two different forums, using pretty much the same wording, if that's what you mean. I haven't used a template, just both forums have similar wording, if not copied. My story doesn't change for each forum so just though this was easier. Sorry if I've caused any...

    Train fine/prosecution for not producing a ticket?

    Thank you all for your reply, I guess I was just in a bad mood yesterday and didn't want to admit anything. But now I agree that I really should have brought a ticket BEFORE travelling on the train. Instead of appealing I am going to write a letter of apology, stating that I was in the wrong...

    Train fine/prosecution for not producing a ticket?

    I am from Cardiff and travel using the Arriva Trains Wales Network (from Radyr Station to Cardiff Queen Street Station if this helps) So, about a month ago I got on a train at Station A and traveled to Station B. I did not buy a ticket at Station A because I knew I could either get a ticket...
