    Mistakenly travelled too far - TIR recorded

    If I had any confidence in being treated fairly for a genuine mistake I would stop and engage, even pay the penalty fare, but to be threatened with prosecution? Nah, I’m sorry but I have other things to worry about than having to deal with the heavy handed TIL!

    Travelling on Crosscountry?

    Travelling on Crosscountry?

    And how exactly are they enforcing reservations? If I want to get on a train and I have a valid ticket then I’m getting on that train, no matter what!

    Mistakenly travelled too far - TIR recorded

    I disagree, if it’s a choice between months of worry waiting for a potential letter of prosecution or the negligible risk of being ambushed by a hiding copper, I think I’ll take the risk and not engage with the gate line staff...

    If it was me, I just would’ve ignored any gate line staff, once your through the gates your through, just keep on walking. The odds of them trying to stop you are nil.

    Should TOC’s lose the right to prosecute?

    In my opinion if a crime has been committed it should be up to the CPS to prosecute and the operating companies should lose their right to bring private prosecutions.

    Fare imbalances: Why are fares on the Midland Mainline between London and Kettering/Corby much more expensive than comparable routes?

    I wonder if due to current affairs fares will start to come down due to lack of custom, I’m not holding my breath...

    Metroline run a few commercial and Hertfordshire supported services out of Potters Bar, and many years ago First group ran two services (335,R1) out of Uxbridge, but are there/were any more examples?

    Milton Keynes to London Terminals flow question

    How many of those are there though? I can personally only think of three: London-Birmingham, London-Brighton and London-Cambridge.

    Milton Keynes to London Terminals flow question

    ... and this is why TOC’s shouldn’t be allowed to set fares, that should be left to the Department for transport.

    If Scotland became an independent country, what would happen to its buses?

    I’m just wondering why you’re ignoring the point me and another poster have made, that as long as the owner of Stagecoach keeps slinging money at the SNP, nationalisation will never happen...
