Update... 3 Weeks after the incident I received a letter notifying of intent to prosecute on the railway by law of remaining in a carriage without the correct ticket, asking me to write my factual version of events. I replied on the same day, two weeks later I received a very short letter...

If anything was said it was certainly not that extensive, he did say he had some questions and answers asked be used in any future case. I may be being naive but i would not have any objection to any of the answers being used at any point, they were all simply questions which i replied to...

Thanks for the reply, in regards to the above question I cannot recall the exact wording but he asked the questions after 1st asking if he could ask me a number of questions and then saying "I'm going to ask you a series of questions, which will be recorded and may be used later as evidence". I...

@Bald Rick, yes that was me, i agree the inspector seemed a nice guy and at no point did i feel he was being unreasonable. It does not surprise me you could not hear what he was saying as he was very quiet. @bb21 @DaveNewcastle, thanks for your comments, i do think this must be a TIR, however...

i have read the guides you have listed below, the information is really useful and I will certainly quote the relevant portions in any mailed response. Some of the laws (as probably most laws) are very confusing, some suggest I was totally in the wrong and others suggest that it was not really...

Thank you for both replieed I have read the section Travel in the right train(s) and the right part of the train(s) - otherwise you could be charged an excess or Penalty Fare. You may only change from standard class to first class areas if a member of staff in that train gives...

if its worth adding the gentleman took my ticket and stapled to the form he filled in and the form i was provided he asked me to use to exit the station

I had believed i was being issues with a penalty fare, and had a discussion with the gentleman which seemed to indicate this. It was very overcrowded and loud which made any read discussion hard. Howver from your last post i do not belive i have a penatly fare. the only documentation i have...

Hi, this is my 1st post here, unfortunately not a positive one. I have just returned from St Albans station, at 17:27 i got on the Bedford bound train (going to St Albans), with a valid marked Carnet ticket (Standard Class). At Kings Cross a large number of passengers boarded the train and...
