Major bump, but wanted to feedback. It was in the £4xx's And it was at their H/O (or one of them), a lot of people on headsets I could see. And yeah they referred to it as an interview. Glad this is over, PAY YOUR FARES KIDS!

Hi all, I have my meeting with EMT tomorrow - I am rather anxious (as per my character) and due to the nature of the situation. Last minute 'SOS' - is there anything I should bear in mind in terms of preparation? Thank you so much all for your constant support and advice - fantastic...

Thanks for your input Dave.. In regard to the prospective years worth: the intent was merely for the return part of my journey - I was honestly chancing my journey home thinking it'd be no big deal. It was genuinely stupid irrational behaviour. I seriously question my thinking. As I said I...

Thank you for this advice... The incident happened on 28/04 I have previous tickets for 08/04, 26/03 & 16/03.. I travel by train 2-4 times p/month - between £10-25 return journeys. My railcard expired 18/04. Does this information help? EDIT: I have also since bought a new railcard and have...

THE LETTER HAS ARRIVED.... So I've been invited to go for an interview. They have highlighted the fact I have travelled under the offence of the following Byelaw. In that you did, in an area not designated as a compulsory ticket area, enter a train for the purpose of travelling without a...

Hi all, seeking some further advice. I haven't received any form of communication yet - and this is the problem, the amount of stress this is causing... Is ringing EM Prosecutions asking for an update, or asking if I could arrange a visit to them viable? Or is awaiting correspondence still...

Yes I have got a new railcard. Not quite sure what the past 3 posts are trying to insinuate here...

Thank you all for your constructive input. I feel more at ease, but also an idiot for being so naive!!! I spoke to someone from EMT who works with prosecution today in person (just for some advice). I explained my story to him and he assured me court is a last resort for them; if it's in the...

Thanks again all It's just my paranoid mind working over time - I'm trying to establish the very worst possible scenario for myself, a student soon to be entering the 'corporate ladder'.

No, a 2015 was changed to 2016 - very 'frantically' when I realised it was out of date. This was one single stroke of a pencil. It was so faint and so 'unmediated' that the stroke has faded by just being touched by hands.... Just trying to show how mere this can be perceived on the 'fraud-scale'...

To be honest all evidence is gone, you can't even see it as it was rubbed off - by him or me when touching it I presume; although perhaps there is slight indentation

furlong, cj and naja, thank you for your replies; I think when the time comes to write a letter I will be visiting here for advice on content. So do people think that this could be more probable for a fraud case now...?

Yes, I completely agree. This could escalate the charge to fraud. However as others assume, it's more likely to be RoRA...(?)

Regardless, I gave my name and details and admitted - so what's done is done. Interesting point - I understand that perspective also. If this was a RoRA issue, and went to court, would the fine be capped at £500? If I was to offer a figure straight forward to them, £600-700, would they...

and what was his punishment, if you know?
