    Received a Pre-court Action but would like to contest it

    Well, had no fixed plan at that time, but there are only 3 or 4 trains to keynsham in the evening (not very regular, one an hour until 10ish I think). So I did not get a return, because I may well get the bus (38 goes directly to where I live), or I could ask my husband to pick me up in the...

    A single from Keynsham to Bath Spa bought at the barrier at Bath Spa station. Keynsham has a ticket office in the morning but it is on the other side of the platform and it is very common that people aboard the train at Keynsham or oldfield park buy tickets at Bath Spa. I've done it a couple of...

    Received a Pre-court Action but would like to contest it

    And like I said I'm upset because I don't feel I had the chance to explain at all. If I had the chance to explain, like I do here, then if at the end of the day they say "sorry but you don't have convincible evidence there so we will have to fine you" or "we believe what you said but...

    I did not mention because no one asked and I did not think it was important. If you think it is then please ask. Of course the more I explain, there is a risk that people would think "no everything just sounds more and more fishy". Like I said when you look at things in such detail everything...

    Received a Pre-court Action but would like to contest it

    Just checked the app and no it doesnt It does not even have a precise time stamp for each message. If you send a massage now it will have a time stamp of, say 0937, and if you send a couple of more messages in the next couple of minutes it will not give it separate time stamps. If you wait...

    I can prove the existence of the text messages, but I cant prove THE PRECISE TIME of me.reading it. Again is it something proveable? If I ask you to prove when you read this post how would you do it? I explained there was a change of plan to the RPI but he did not listen. I did not show him...

    Received a Pre-court Action but would like to contest it

    suppose i could but what good it would do to me? i still have to prove i did not READ the message until i was getting off the train --- old post above --- --- new post below --- when you have to analyse it in such details everything seems suspecious. But in reality this is just what people...

    Received a Pre-court Action but would like to contest it

    the deleting part was due to other problems and I could ask my friend for screenshots. If it is just the case of proving that there was a plan on that day and it was changed later during a time roughly about when I was on my journey then I should have no problem. However I have no way of...

    Thank you very much. So: for someone who actually is indeed intended to travel to bath spa to Keynsham, he could just buy a ticket from bath spa to oldfield park and aboard a train at bath spa. If 1) he does not get checked on the day he saves 3.7 2) if he gets checked on the train once and...

    Incorrect delay compensation when using two tickets for one journey on FGW

    Unsurprisingly someone had the same problem before: http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=70517 and please see post #10 --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Thanks Mod for splitting this. This was just mentioned as an example but having looked at the other post, especially the...

    People are suggesting if I only found out the plan was changed after alight the train I would have to wait for an hour to get another train.

    Thanks for the explanation. This point had never occurred to me.... It sounds right but in the meantime it does sound quite right... I was reading this post: http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=25950 Changing the contract by paying excess fares Excess fares may be purchased...

    Received a Pre-court Action but would like to contest it

    I agree most of what you've outlined above but this one. Why would it make any difference if I had asked for a ticket from oldfield park to keynsham when I was encountered by the RPI immediately before getting off the train? His questions would be the same: why did you only have the...

    Received a Pre-court Action but would like to contest it

    I honestly did not have the plan to travel to Keynsham when I boarded the train at Bath. How could I buy a ticket for a journey that I was not even aware of? Just because I live in Keynsham? I don't normally travel by train and I wasn't planning going home by train that day. Your answers to...

    Incorrect delay compensation when using two tickets for one journey on FGW

    I was only given 50% of the second ticket. For example for bath to london the fare was something like (40+60) and I only got 30.
