The cost of the ticket was £12.I think he will just pay and put it down to experience and draw a line under it.Thank you all very much for your measured responses.It certainly is quite an eye opener to see how easy it would be to get into serious trouble .

Yes 3 times!No tel number or email to query the paying of the ticket yet again.I think we are over a barrel but the alternative is a worry.If I could get in touch I would be tempted to. We have 21 days.They must be keen as this all happened on Monday and letter arrived today!Thanks once again...

Just to update.Son received letter asking for £37, admin fee and cost of ticket -which he had already paid for when found without ticket.However I'm not complaining we are just relieved.Thank you for your help.I hope you enjoy the festivities.

Oh dear it's quite a worry.I wonder if people are normally given a sheet of paper my son did not think the conductor took notes but did take a photo of his I D.He certainly wasn't cautioned.

Son thinks photographed and said he didn't take notes .I read somewhere on this forum, that if a new ticket is purchased he would or could not be prosecuted under the Railway Regulation Act.Could anyone confirm if this is the case or not.Many thanks to you all.

Thank you furlong,good advice.We will.

Thank you very much.I think the person who sold the ticket was a ticket conductor rather than an inspector that may have saved his bacon.I thought it unlikely to go further if he was sold a full priced ticket.Hopefully that will be the case.

Thank you for your speedy reply.A lesson hopefully learned -to keep hold of tickets until home

Sorry clumsy typing *local branch line *Got him to Exeter

Good morning any help would be appreciated.My son boarded a trainlical branch line train at Exeter station and couldn't show a valid ticket for the previous train which hit him to Exeter (didn't think he needed to keep it) when paying in board the local train conductor asked to see you key that...
