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...
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.

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...

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...
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...
