Spelling has a G on the end :D I don't know why you are so spectacularly failing to acknowledge what I'm saying. If there was a conductor on board, he was not visible to the naked eye. The end Au contraire, I think I've actually been fairly pragmatic about the whole thing. I just wanted...

I've honestly never once seen a conductor get off and then back on, although as someone else alluded to, its not something I'm particularly looking for! Yes, I agree. This was an error. But as opposed to me paying the difference, I have to pay the entire thing over again. Nice Like I said...

Hang on, I'm supposed to guess what part of the train a conductor might be standing in?! It gets worse!! In answer, I purchased a ticket later that day as I needed to get home. I bought a return ticket with the assumption that this would negate the need to purchase 2x single tickets, which...

You work for a train company and have specific knowledge of the journey presumably? So you KNOW that a conductor was on, and that it is my responsibility to find him? Unfortunately, I'm just a passenger. I didn't KNOW that there was a conductor on, nor that I had to scour the train to find...

Yes, the conductor on board WOULD have been the first opportunity, but there was none on! Or rather, I didn't find him. I didn't run the length of the train though I'll be honest

I'm not! :D Not at all, but I don't want the situation to get any worse, and it seems like unless the company in question suddenly develops an unlikely sympathetic tendency, I'm going to lose, despite what appears to be an injustice I think they're probably already aware of it...

RPSS, with a PO box address in Portsmouth Apparently the matter is now subjudice too, so any discussions can only be entered in writing. Apparently

I'll give that a whirl. Does state that the operator is only able to take payment, and not discuss any aspects of the issue on this letter though. Really quite gutted I didn't discover this place sooner!

They're asking for £83.80, made up of: £23.80 original fare 3x £20 admin charges for sending out each letter (I think!)

On the grounds that I had purchased a ticket that same day! I was/am refusing to buy ANOTHER ticket for the same journey.

Being completely honest, and after reading many different posts on this forum, I think that it would be foolish to allow it to go to court I'm still really annoyed, and think I've been very harshly treated; but I can see the other side of the coin What is infuriating is that this is/was...

They don't specifically state, but on the 'NOTIFICATION OF ALLEGED FARE EVASION' it states: Contrary to Section 5.3.a of the Regulation of Railway Act 1889 That's not great news is it? I don't have the ticket anymore, but I did provide it to them. They actually cancelled the PF due to the...

I had to get home that same day, so I bought a return ticket (as opposed to a single) later that day I guess this is the crux of my argument, that I had a valid ticket and therefore there can't possibly be any fare evasion intent I mean I don't really WANT to go to court, but I'm livid at the...

Certainly! Boarded at Aldrington without a ticket as machine not working Booth on platform @ Brighton closed. Not enough time to exit barriers and queue for tickets so boarded train to Victoria (my stop Clapham Junction) Advised ticket inspector of the above, wouldn't sell me a ticket and...

Hi there I messed up the title and can't edit :oops: I've got a demand for £83.80 to pay. £23.80 ticket fee, plus 3x £20 admin charges I was caught without a ticket in January, and successfully appealed against the fine. However they insisted I had to pay £23.80 for the cost of the...
