Actually I dont think its at all fair, if the train is full and there are empty seats then it should be ok to sit on them, payment could easily be taken off your oyster card and you should not be treated like a criminal. Or maybe get rid of first class entirely on local trains, to give us all...

Matter resolved, a £50 fine and no court court big relief..I understand that many avoid fares but this is a really harsh process for those that made a simple mistake or needed to rest for whatever reason...surely a second chance to pay the fine of £20 in a two week period would be better..my...

OK will do..

Thanks...my partner cant remember but thought the train was running late so it might have been the train before the 8.45 one but cant get hold of the timing on that one from the raildar site..the train before did have first class from the time table... Hopefully it can be sorted out now we...

PS they dont know the train time as he had to get off the train and follow the inspector (like I said above someone else legged it and he was told to follow the inspector off the train which he did...) I cant seem to get the details on the raildar site that you have for the trains before and...

Thanks its not written on any of the letters which train it was..but the caution was given at 9.18..and I cant get through to FCC Now..

I checked the time table, it seems to become first class after a certain stage of the journey if I am reading it correctly..we think it was the 8.45 from tusle hill...not sure I am we recently moved into train land and still useless at reading time tables etc...but thank you for pointing that...

Ok thanks - the date was the 17th of april and the time they caught him was 9.10 so it was the 8.45 I will check thank you..

It was around 9.10 in the morning - I think it def was a first class carriage do you mean every train is standard class only in the morning despite saying 1st clas? I rang the FCC office and finally someone answered - they had rang my partner back after the initial letter but he didnt get the...

PS whats a substantial offer given the original fare was only £6.10?

Its section 19 of the railway bylaws..made under section 219 of the transport act 2000. Presumable if he offers to settle out of court with the court costs of £120 and the fare fee of £6.10 that would be the way to proceed? I thought maybe they thought he hadnt replied to the letter as their...

Dear Forum, I would really appreciate some advice - my partner (he's not that internet savvy) - was traveling on an oyster card from tulse hill to kings cross on a first capital connect train. The train was full and he had hurt his leg and been to minor injuries two days previously so he sat...
