    Prosecution letter query

    Intent to avoid payment is shown by people's actions; we cannot look into their mind. Intent does not have to be present throughout; many people decide to avoid payment late in the journey. The OP's actions as described by him/her show clear intent to avoid payment.

    Fare Evasion Zone 1-8 Southeastern Railways

    The TOC would be justified in getting BTP to charge them under section 11 of the Fraud Act 2006. There is clear evidence.

    109 offences on one nominee pass...PLEASE HELP!

    Just a couple of points to consider. I've never heard of direct recruitment to CID. Perhaps this has changed? Also, why would an applicant for the Met Police refer to it as the civil service?

    Stafford to Birmingham Season ticket: permitted via Lichfield?

    The swearing. Could you please give the exact words? Was it thrown? For example "You f...ing c..t," or was it "Oh for f..k's sake," which is not thrown at the person but is more of an exasperated comment.

    It looks as though it's route FT, via Tulse Hill, which is OK.

    Routes in suburbs for London Terminals ST

    A season from Ramsgate to London Terminals (not HS1). Is it valid to use the Beckenham Junction to London Bridge service? I'd have said yes: Ramsgate staff say no as it's not an SE service. Advice would be very welcome.
