SEWL sons here again, I'll try to answer all the points raised. I have received no compensation (or apology) from the train company. It appears that train company dropped the prosecution of their own volition. I'm guessing this was progressed mainly by clerical administrators who were just...

SELW's son here. Apologies for the tardiness of this update, I was indeed told to stop discussing this publicly by my legal adviser at the time. Anyway things turned out like this: I entered a not guilty plea by post. A few days before the initial court hearing I received a letter from the...

OPs son here, Thanks for all the advice and support so far. Good to know I'm not the only one who has found this whole thing a little bizarre. So just to make sure I've understood what you have all said. Effectively I was allow to travel the route I took because the routeing tables said I...

I am also taking professional legal advice.

OP sons here, responded twice in a timely fashion. First time they respond with a basic rehash of previous threats. Second time they never responded - had assumed matter was closed until I got the court summons out of the blue.

Probably worth mentioning that XC handed this off to Transport Investigations Limited, who based on the information I have provided them (much as the same here), had only ever sent me form letters with no specific detail on my case. So perhaps they are just following a procedure without really...

Thank you all, this has been very useful and educational.

Sorry I don't understand. I was travelling, Altrincham > Stockport > Leamington Spa > High Wycombe (in that direction). I do sometimes change at Banbury, but not on that journey. How does a Reading route apply here? Is there some official source I can refer to here?

I think they actually did, as I said I was going to change at Leamington Spa. I suppose on the plus side, at least this would seem to reduce the amount of money they can claim, e.g. Coventry to Leamington Spa as opposed to Stockport to Leamington Spa. My travel plan for the day. Details for...

Somewhere between Macclesfield and Birmingham if I remember correctly. This was all about 5 months ago. The conversation was more or less along the lines of (heavily paraphrased): Inspector: You don't have a valid ticket. Me: Yes I do, I bought the ticket I was told to buy after explaining...

A week if I plead guilty, otherwise it will be rearranged for another date.

Hey, son here, I can answer any additional questions you have, cheers.

In the court summons they are asking for £52.70 for the fare. Which would seem to amount to being forced to pay twice. Isn't the money already within the rail network, do they just need to claim it from the "via London" company? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- From the summons...

Yes, and replaced with the excess. He was allowed to keep the return ticket. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Yes. Specifically under: Contrary to S5 (3) (a) of The Regulation of Railways Act 1889 as amended by section 84 (2) of the Transport Act 1962 and section 18 of the...
