    Thank you, This is also a helpful post. When i explained the situation to the inspector he seemed to understand it, he wasnt even sceptical he just asked a couple of brief questions, was nowhere near as doubtful or interogating as some of these posts have been :S He took my details down and...

    I didnt want there to be a possibility of a long queue at the ticket office or end up missing thetrain on the day, same reasons most people chose not to use ticket offices on the day. I really do not see what is so hard to believe I think a lot of your experiences on this forum have made you...

    On the journey back to Hatfield I returned with someone who can verify this as they got on the same bus back with me and helped me to use the machine when purchasing another single ticket going towards Hatfield. (This person went to the same job interview as me and goes to my uni) I actually...

    Please read up, i said i gave my friend 10 pounds. I rarely use trains and the time i did use it once last year the ticket machine wasnt displaying the correct destination for me. I know roughly how to use underground machines as i sometimes used to take the tube God forbid anyone should...

    I rarely take train from Hatfield, my last experience using the machines I had to get an operator to help me as i couldnt find the option for Londons, King cross so i asked my friend to get it for me, I dont see what is confusing about that point, Was i supposed to interrogate her as to the...

    Thank you for your help, you and the other have been very helpful. If anyone else has any extra comments or questions it woulod be good to hear them but one question that has been confusing me is why didnt they just give me a penalty fine or whatever the terminology for it is, an 'intention...

    I know realise i wasted a lot of money that day which was quite sillly of me but I had no idea the return would be so cheap, Im not even sure why a single fare is so high if its going to be almost the same price as the return. Isnt it a section 17 (2) byelaw offence (i read this on one of the...

    Yep youve summed it up perfectly, I now realise that i couldve saved a whole load of money and feel pretty dumb. Yes i bought two single tickets but there was a reason for that, i initially bought (paid for) just a single ticket and not a return ticket is because I thought i may catch bus back...

    Intention to... prosecute :S

    I understand the answer is vague but i honestly dont know the exact cost of the ticket, even on my return to Hatfield where i physically used the machine myself with the help of someone i dont know the actual cost i paid. Yes my friend did get it, im saying ''I'' because it was my money used...

    Intention to... prosecute :S

    well i gave a 10 pound note and was given change, but the change wasnt much so i dont know exactly i really cant remember exact detail as this was a couple of weeks back and i didnt think it was important at the time i think the ticket for the train back was 10 something or around that reigon...

    Intention to... prosecute :S

    i dont know the exact date it was bought i just know it was in advance, it mustve been the day before then because i asked my friend who lives on campus to get it for me, (as i dont know how to operate the ticket machines nor do i usually go to the station and theres usually queues at the...

    Intention to... prosecute :S

    Nope it wasnt bought online. I was travelling from Hatfield to finsbury park and the barriers were open for some reason so i didnt actually need to bring out my ticket. I even saw the inspectors prior to my boarding the train and asked them for directions to the quickest train to north...
