I used to work above Victoria station and there were long queues at 8am on my way to the office.

From memory the lines are insane all day, both days. It's a nightmare for us local residents. I just go away for the weekend to avoid it. I can't recall the tracks that are used, sorry.

Can I just raise the suggestion that this question applies to the whole of the criminal justice system? It has always been that the better defence you can afford, gives you the best outcome. I'm not suggesting it's right for one moment, but it's how life works.

They've not done much work at Piccadilly Gardens this week, other than sit and watch somebody wielding a mallet. It was closed for 2 months last year, again this year, when will they finish any work?

Thank you, that will help 'the experts' better answer your query. 1780057457 I suppose for the inverted commas, they give an unintended criticism. I can't edit a post as after several years I'm considered a new member.

I am not an expert and am not giving advice, however I'm certain there is not an offence of failing to buy a Railcard. Others will follow to give fuller suggestions, but at the very least you need to upload the communication after redacting all references and personal details

Prosecution is unlikely if you co-operate with them. But in the worst case scenario it is very unlikely to be a bar to the Civil Service providing you declare it when asked.

Personally, i'd be raising the issue with Arriva, they should be arranging for their staff to know what tickets to accept. Thameslink are not in a position to do that. Years ago, I had a similar issue with First Leeds whose driver told me I was stupid for trying to use a plusbus ticket as it...

Please use this as an, expensive, hint to start organising these things. I'll readily admit I tend to be almost obsessive, but I always record expiry dates, of everything, with a 7 day advanced reminder.

Forgive me, I cannot speak for TfL, but anyone travelling with TfGM, should know that their tap'n' go is very hit and miss.

Just remember the rest of us trying to get a rail company to pay a single delay repay. I know which side I believe the fraud is occurring.

Great, that's the way I, as a southerner, have always pronounced it! 1755686384 I'm usually grumpy enough to think they if they spent as much time solving it as apologising for it, it might no longer be a delay.

I understand that, but it was another way of ensuring you don't use expired cards. I'm sure we'd all agree a calendar/diary reminder should be the preferred way of achieving this

My advice, as others have said, is don't use Trainline. I bought a ticket via trainpal the other day and was reminded before paying that my Railcard is no longer valid. I'm sorry this doesn't solve your current issue but may be helpful to others, or for you in the future

I'd scan their letter and keep a copy on your phone for any further incidents
