Thanks for taking the time to respond Cuccir. It’s appreciated. I agree, I haven’t been asked directly about the e-ticket or anything else for that matter. I did explain to the Revenue inspector that it was my own fault for not purchasing on the train. I was entirely honest about this. I suffer...

Many thanks for this. I’m under no false pretence that I was in the wrong. How would you explain the fact that I bought a ticket on the other side of the barrier? This makes me look terrible and dishonest and I am neither of those things. Just a young girl in a frantic panic.

Many thanks for this. I’m under no false pretence that I was in the wrong

This is not my intention. I simply would like an opinion on how best to respond.

Many thanks for your response. How do you suggest I proceed?

Quite. But that doesn’t quite answer my question.

Many thanks for your response. The plan was to respond in my letter accepting that I didn’t purchase a ticket at the station, but noting that I did purchase one before I went through the barrier. The station is filled with people on a morning and usually it’s a continuous flow of bodies...

Hi all. I have received a letter
