At least with gates there should be a consistent approach to checks and not the can I/can't I buy at the station lottery which is the current approach. I know you should have a ticket before travel but issuing FTP's should apply to all cases not when they fancy doing it. Tbh I'm astonished it's...

Called today to confirm payment and case closed, the lady confirmed both. I just hope they don't notice this is my second time and take it further, fingers crossed they don't. This is the last from me in thIs thread, I hope I don't have to open it again in the near future. Thanks for everyone...

Yeah print screen and email receipt received.

Rang this morning and there was no record of the FTP, apparently they only arrive on Tuesday's/Thursday's and to check again tomorrow. On my way home I checked online and it was showing so I paid the fare. Now, should I ring tomorrow to check that's it all done or just forget about it now and...

Gonna give it another couple of days before I ring, I'll keep trying online in the meantime.

Sorry I think you misred my post. I provided my correct details on the form but the only two details I need for payment online are the FTP which is typed out and my postcode which I wrote down, that's what I was meaning when I said about the postcode that the person on the receiving end filling...

What does NR benefit from this if any fines go to the court and no criminal record?

I suppose I could or even over the phone but the advise early on was to just pay it and don't phone them up if I don't have to. Can you still go to court for Byelaw offence? Thanks for your reply.

I'll keep trying online. With regards to the details logged incorrectly it would only be the postcode because it's the FTP and postcode that I have to enter online. As mentioned above I don't want to ring them to maybe trigger something (they might see my previous £80 penalty) and just wanted to...

Still not up online after 1week and everyday this week people have openly purchased tickets at Manchester Piccadilly whilst departing from the same station as mine that had people an open ticket office in us. Just where is the consistency?

Thanks again, you've all been very helpful. I tried to pay online last night and again today but got this message; I'll keep trying and keep you posted. Hopefully pay that and that's the end of it like the revenue inspector said when he issued the FTP.

Thanks for your reply. Yes took name and address but no statement. He kept highlighting the difference between this sheet of paper and taking details in the little black book saying the black book is more serious and that involves a statement. Hopefully in a few days I can pay this£4.20...

Thanks. As stated, I'm fully aware and expecting this now it's just the mixed messages I got from the officer, I'd rather know one way or another but I guess I will have to wait.

FAILURE TO PURCHASE NOTICE you have been identified as boarding a NR service when at the commencement of your journey the appropriate ticket purchasing facilities were working and available at your original station. Having failed to use the facilities provided the fare outstanding for this...

Thanks for your prompt reply. That's good to know. It's the same old thing, you see them selling tickets on the train (every station stop has ticket buying facilities) and openly at the ticket barriers at Piccadilly but every knows (or should know) you need a ticket before travel but people...
