I am the first person to admit that this is a really stupid thing to do, and I now realise that. I am just looking for some advice in this situation, as the course I am studying and any potential future job will be in jeopardy if I get a criminal record. I dont think that the RPO's were...

I was caught today by what I think was an RPI. On the morning when I got caught, I came from Bracknell, without a ticket, and then left at Richmond. I tried to tap in a Richmond, but I think it didn’t work for some reason because when I tapped out at Earl’s Court and checked my balance, I was...

I usually get the Ealing return ticket from Langley, but because I was at Hayes that day, I used my oyster to get to Paddington and then walk it to my uni. This is where the oyster didn't register and I was charged £7.20 at Paddington. Then on the way back i tapped in at SK and tapped out at...

Wath Yard, yup that is what I did, and I know it looks odd but I did tell him why I purchased the paper ticket. My main concern, which has been bugging me ever since this happened is getting any sort of criminal record, whether enhanced CRB or not, as this would jeopardise my career.

So I just checked my oyster history again and there are 3 instances where I didn't have a return journey back to home because I was picked up from uni that day. But all the rest have a return journey. I can explain the lift that day, and I have kept and will be keeping all the tickets I purchase...

I was a bit shaken in the moment and so didn't read the statement properly. But from what i recall, he asked me about 5/6 questioned that he noted down. and the majority of my answers were 'yes', or 'yes probably'. I believe he initially asked me about the morning journey, and he asked me why I...

Yh I had a valid ticket, and I don't know why he decided to caution me and take this further. I remember him saying that the charge is not a maximum fare but a penalty charge for not entering or something. I told him that I am willing to pay a fine then if that was the case but he didn't listen...

So I've just had a quick check on my journey history, which only allows me to go back to the start of December 2012 for some reason. I've had 2 including the one he questioned me about, and the second one was in the same week. What happened there was I tapped in at Barons Court, and had to go...

What would you define as incomplete, tapped in without tapping out? and vice versa?

I usually travel from Langley, just that day I went from Hayes because I got a lift to there. And I wasn't sure what the problem was when it didn't register, so I just bought a paper ticket to be safe. I'm not really bothered about these overcharges, I just want to make sure I don't get any form...

So I tapped in at Hayes in the morning but it didn't register, and I had to run and catch the train otherwise I would have missed it. I then went to Paddington, where I explained this to the officer and he tapped out for me saying you would have been charged maximum fare anyway. When I checked...

I held a valid ticket from Ealing back to where I live on FGW national rail. I suspect he thinks I saw him and went to buy a ticket, and that I usually evade fares. And I always throw my tickets away after I have used them, which is what i was referring too. But I kept the ticket I bought that...

Thanks for the reply. Yes I had a valid ticket when I was stopped and questioned. He then asked for my oyster and told me to explain what happened in the morning. He later mentioned that it was very easy to board the train without paying for a ticket, so I'm guessing he thinks i could be a...

Hi, I was caught by a Revenue officer at Ealing with a legitimate ticket for the return journey, but he wanted to check my oyster card. Earlier in the day I couldn't tap in and therefore had to tap out at Paddington where I was charged the maximum fare (£7.20) anyway. The officer didn't show...
