    Discussion About Excessively High Admin Fees

    I'm happy to pay to avoid a criminal record! Could you expand on RoRA as it sounds slightly worrying. Is it only applicable if I were to take the court method? (I won't)

    Any advice? Sizable fine for an out of date Railcard.

    Just a hypothetical, doesn't look like the course of action I'll be taking. However I don't know how I can be fined for the Basingstoke - Waterloo leg if it hadn't started yet, as the train hadn't got to Basingstoke! Perhaps they are able to see that I didn't buy a replacement ticket for the...

    Any advice? Sizable fine for an out of date Railcard.

    Thanks for all your feedback guys, it's great to see and I'm very grateful. Just one thought, I wonder if by having my journey ticketed with SplitSave, and that I was fined at Brockenhurst, I can dispute that I only had an invalid ticket for the Christchurch - Basingstoke leg?

    Hi guys, Was just wondering if there's anything I can do here. Usual story, bought a ticket unaware the railcard was out of date, fair enough. But £254 seems like a lot of money for Admin fees. The journey was Christchurch - Waterloo, bought with splitsave, so the first ticket was a...

    Class 442s - Now at the end of the road and to be withdrawn permanently

    Hi all, I'm new to this discussion, and I've just noticed the conversation on the previous page regarding the 442 Units currently at Fratton. Whilst crossing the footbridge there today, I noticed the interior lights were on as it was around 7pm. Luckily this allows us to get a look inside...

    SWR Repaints and Refurbishments

    Hi all, I've been following this thread for a while but never posted, but today saw something that might be of interest. A 442 unit, (or parts of 2 units) at Fratton Railcare Depot. What I found interesting was the fact that a few cars had the part repaint (grey baselayer) whereas the other cars...
