Was it? Because of disruption her plans had to change at the last minute. She arrived at the station with 4 minutes to spare (3.5' to doors closed). The ticket machine is located at the entrance to the station - at the southern end of Platform 3. The footbridge to platforms 2 and 1 is offset...

Sometimes. I have held four x 3 year Senior Railcards and received a reminder each time, except September '24 when my previous one expired. There was no reminder. Mrs R never received her reminder in February, either.

Yes, the round trip (I live near LIC and we will be picked up in Cannock) included a trip to Brum and a football match. That said, it's an interesting question. With some negotiating with Mrs R, I suppose the day could possibly start and end in Cannock with a straightforward return to BHM and a...

Many thanks Watershed, I needed to double check having been surprised with the booking office advice. In fairness he may not have encountered many people off to Walsall !!!! Thanks also for the additional fares information. It's a point.

I'm planning a short journey this weekend, from Lichfield to Cannock (Single Day / Anytime) with breaks of Journey at New Street - where there is a change of train (German Market) and Bescot Stadium (Football). All would seem OK - on the journey planner the route is permitted as are any number...

As an aside the, full to standing, 09:04 Birmingham to Liverpool service was cancelled at LPY this morning and the pax turfed out. Advised to await a further delayed following train - many declined and headed for platform 6 and Liverpool Central, where on arrival dozens of phone screens were...

I wonder how this system works? I say that because in the very first post, the OP told us; Has it really taken 'a couple of years' to inform / alert / warn the OP that something was amiss? If so there is something fundamentally wrong with the system. At the very least, I would have thought...

The document says, 'It is evident that by avoiding the fares that were applicable [the OP] and his wife have avoided £8350.60 since January 2019. [TOC] have been defrauded of this amount. It follows, therefore, that the TOC alleges they have been defrauded of £8350.60 by the actions of 'the OP...

I'm really sorry to hear that things went badly, but maintain that the OP was right not to resign. He now has the opportunity to exhaust his internal processes (MotCO #249) by first of all appealing and then if necessary taking the matter to an Employment Tribunal. Mak1981 #250 echoes some of...

This is an important observation. If the TOC find that you are 'guilty' of gross misconduct, dismissal is only one of the range of responses available to them, so you may have resigned unnecessarily; a warning, written warning, or a final written warning might also be appropriate in the...

Having already received promises from GTR that they would not proceed, but then did, if it were me in this situation, I would speak with the court, personally, to be doubly sure that prosecution was being set aside and the case withdrawn.

I thought that in these circumstances the very first thing that the OP's cousin should do is swear a statutory declaration to the court, that the case was heard without their knowledge. The declaration, if accepted will mean that the conviction is set aside so that proceedings can recommence...

Thanks for the considered response WL. Hopefully the OP will find your thoughts helpful.

OK. Which means that the court will bring this to a conclusion. This is not what the OP has seemingly been told:

Brilliant! Someone else will be able to advise better than me, but this sounds rather incomplete. If the court proceedings are underway and a date set for a further hearing, can TIL /XC simply throw in the towel in this way, or should it not be done formally through the courts? Surely they...
