I had a similar case in the same(ish) area over a shorter distance with Northen. Search my thread "Letter Home" for how it went, but basically I got a letter asking for my events before a 30 pound fine plus a few extra quid for the ticket. I had to wait 2 months for my first letter and 3 months...

Yes I can confirm thirty one pounds eighty as the fine. Me and both my friends who recieved the same punishment feel ourselves very lucky, i'd like to thank everyone on the board who offered kind words and advice to me :)

If anyone was interested with how this was resolved, shortly after posting this thread I recieved the generic letter that Northern usually send out, asking me for my turn of events. I replied with an extremely sympathetic letter and admitted to everything but apologised sincerely and pledged...

The train was large, it had roughly 4 carriages with me getting on one of the front 2 carriages, the ticket inspector was on the back carriage. I believe the train was split in two halves so to speak so he could not get to where I was, but this was not an attempt at fare dodging on my behalf as...

Right, I know you have all seen lots and lots of these threads but I just would like some friendly advise if possible. Also, I understand I have been foolish and stupid and I deeply regret my actions. Tonight, me and two other friends were travelling by train to a football match. Our local...
