    Standard ticket holder in first class

    Thanks najab for responding so quickly - I suspected it could also be too much info. I'll wait for some other feedback as well.

    Standard ticket holder in first class

    Hi all First off, thanks to the people that have responded to my post from back in March. It was very helpful. Today I received the letter from Greater Anglia (please find attached). I've drafted a quick letter in response explaining how I experienced the situation. Please can you have...

    Standard ticket holder in first class

    Hello all Any further thoughts would be appreciated. I spoke to solicitors Gray Cooper which have a lawyer on the team that specialises in railway convictions. I know I've been advised to wait for a letter, but he pointed out that the revenue inspector will most likely not write the best...

    Please do not imply that I am lying about the facts. The advice on this forum would not be applicable or helpful if I sat here lying about the situation. I said that what I did was illegal and I acknowledge it - I asked for advise not judgement.

    Correct. I don't expect a seperate complaint to affect the illegality of the situation. I will wait for the letter and for the advisory group I contacted yesterday to come back to me. I will try to settle it by dealing w the persecution office. If it doesn't seem promising I will contact a...

    Hello Thanks for the response. You've supplied a lot of information, so let me see if we are on the same page. I was in the wrong for being sat in their first class seat and for refusing to give my details. That's the objective truth - so I'm clear on the fact that I need wait for a letter...

    Hello Sorry one last question. The inspector read me my rights - am I right in thinking that he booked me on the spot and I will most definitely get a summons, which in that case I should speak to a solicitor?

    Thank you all for your comments. I've read on other posts of people being summoned to court after not having responded to previous letters/warnings by the TOC. Can I contact them to make sure they have my correct details? Is it likely that the first letter I do receive is a summons...

    Apologies - one final question- why did he read my rights?

    Greenback/Najab - thanks I'm happy to ring and offer compensation. I also rang trainfocus today for an opinion. They said in the first instance an option is to make a complaint if I want until I hear from them with possible advice. The back story is that I would have paid for an...

    They got involved because the inspector called them so I can give me details.

    Standard ticket holder in first class

    Hello Thanks for the question. The inspector came around and asked for my ticket, she saw the standard ticket and asked me rudely what I was doing there. I said "I'm sorry, I didn't realise, I was distracted, I will move." Then she pointed at the signage and said 'can't you read?, I'm...
