Thank you everyone for the advice. I will call the embassy next week. Actually, I always declared it, it never caused any issues however my last DBS check just made me wonder as it didn't appear on it. It was just a matter of interest. Thanks again!

Hello, I am travelling to china and I need to apply for a visitor visa next month. Just wondered - should I declare the travel offences (I have one maybe, not sure) on my visa paper? I had enhanced DBS check done and it comes up with nothing. I am not sure if I have a criminal record at...

Thank you for the answer. I am going for 186 as it stands now. It hasn't been determined yet but most probably this one.

Hello Everybody, I have a quick question. I was caught by TFL when I travelled with my friend's oyster on the underground. It happened 2 years ago. I am pretty sure that I have a criminal record as it went to court straight (RoR). My job now requires me to apply for an Australian work...

I bought my tickets on the train many times, I witnessed many people purchasing tickets there as well. I have never seen any guards issuing a penalty fare warning. I think it would save a lot (no printed papers needed, no trees killed) if the guard verbally warns the passenger that it is not...

That would cost a fortune. At the end of the day, the current system works fine (on the whole, I guess). I think the only issue that we can raise is uncosistnecy in terms of signs and actual measures taken by the guards (if paid on train for the fares).

The thing is: I think, it doesn't matter how many posters you can see on the doors as long as a human being overrules the signs (even if it is a silent overrule by not saying that it is not ok). I mean, I personally saw the posters but as the guard on the train never had a bad word about...

Hello, Just a note to this. I have been living in the UK for over 7 years now. Until I came to this forum, I had no idea that buying a ticket on board is an offence. Nobody ever told me (on the train, etc.) that I need to buy my ticket at the station. I used to go to London with groups of 50-60...

I think the best course of action is to come clean. The TOC is not silly. If they pin her down and decide to find out (to make an example, etc.) where she came from, they can easily use the CCTV footages. They can check if the station in question was really manned and people were given "permit...

Hello, I am talking from experience (not proud of it at all). The best thing you can do is to try to google the contact details of the prosecution office at the rail company. On the summons, you should find the name of the prosecutor. He or she works for the train company. Try to find out...

Dear All, I just wanted to update everyone about the case. I sent the letter back explaining the event. I didn't receive communication from the train company after that. I was getting worried (there was a post problem in my area) and to make sure that they received my letter (and to make sure...

Thank you all for your help and constructive opinion. I sent the letter today, now I have to sit and wait. I will keep everyone updated if you want me to. Thanks again!

Thank you for all your help. I am not sure what is on the letter, it is not with me right now. It is not FCC for sure, either Southern or South Eastern. Thank you!

Thank you! I just wanted to make sure that I offer something reasonable that they would likely to accept. Can I offer a sum of money later if they decide to take the matter further? (if I offer no amount now) I mean - are they going to reply if they want to take it to court or I will just...

I will do that. I will leave out the amounts. Matter of interest: why does it make a big difference if I tell them the amount or not? I mean, why is that a big problem if I say the number? I am just asking...
