Some thoughts to add on to what's been already mentioned: Dear Prosecutions, I am writing to respond to your letter dated xx regarding the incident at Waterloo on xx. I sincerely apologise for making the decision to purchase a short fare ticket for my journey. I have reflected upon my...

My edits below. First impression. Too many run-on sentences. Bold are fixed typos / spelling mistakes / etc. Italics are new sections. Strikethrough denotes removed sections. Dear <title and name of recipient> or South Western Railway or Prosecution Department etc. I would like to express deep...

Good letter. To the point and no waffle. Only two edits I'd suggest are: 1) Put the reference number at the top of the letter. 2) You've already stated that you're writing to take accountability. I don't think it's necessary to have the "I am eager to take responsibility" bit as that is the...

I came across a load of old promo leaflets for various railways. Are they worth anything? Or purely collectable value only? In date order: (All have *some* fold lines, but I've mentioned particularly noticable ones) - East Somerset Railway 2000 timetable and info (good condition, opens up to...

Very difficult to say as there's nowhere near enough information. Please have a read of this post here which outlines the information needed for us to be able to provide you with useful advice. (https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/please-read-before-posting-in-disputes-prosecutions.77759/)

Ah, got it, thank you! :)

Doing some planning for family recently, I was surprised to see the 205 appears to have been discontinued in favour of adding additional stops on the 035. This surprises me as the 035 is rarely a quiet service, and the 205 has been pretty well occupied every time I've taken it. I'm not sure how...

"just a dot"?

Are SWR Evening Out tickets valid on CrossCountry services? The journey in question is Southampton Airport Parkway to Bournemouth. I cannot buy this ticket if I choose a service run by XC, but if I look up the restriction code (UL), it doesn't mention any restrictions beyond a couple of west...

Could someone please let me know what the codes are for booking RailAir tickets from Woking or Reading to Heathrow please? I'm on the National Rail website. I've tried all three "Heathrow Bus" options it offers, and it claims it can't find prices for any of them. I did a search of the forum and...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g8jvwz4m1o In short; in 2024-5, TfL prosecuted 3,691 people, issued 13,118 penalty fare notices and 850 written warnings on the tube, with a further 12,527 PFNs on the Overground and 440 warnings. That's a considerable number of people coming to TfL's...

Appreciate the pointers, thank you!

As per title, really. I know they come up on eBay occasionally, but is there a bus breaker or parts place that sells second hand parts that would be a more reliable place to look? Thanks. :)

It's a start. Needs some editing. I wouldn't think you'd need to mention the previous penalty fare as it may not be relevant to this case. But as has been said, we can't advise fully until you receive and show us the letter from the railway company. Sit tight, and come on back when you've...

Hi there. Welcome to the forum. The experts will be along in due course to advise. However your explanation is a little unclear and I'm not sure there's enough information for us to be able to properly help you. Could you please have a read of the "please read" thread, which you can find here...

@dorsetdesiro is spot on. By the time you got to use them on the Portsmouth Direct, they had been "refurbished" (aka downgraded) once for GatEx, maybe twice (again for SWR) depending on the unit you were on. Traveling on them back in South West Trains and NSE days was a very different experience.

Agree with the advice given, although it depends if there's a particular part of Waterloo you need to get to. For example, the walk between the Jubilee ticket hall and the Bakerloo line isn't short (especially if the walkways are out of use), so that may be a factor.

@ledw12 Please start a new thread. No two issues are exactly the same and advice given in one thread may not be relevant to another. You should also take a moment to read the "please read before posting" information which you can find here...

I agree with the spirit of the two posts above, but I'm not sure the amendments would read well. Having "for my actions" twice doesn't read well to me. This should be fixable with a little rephrasing. How about: On the day in question, I failed to purchase the correct ticket for my journey...

Ok. This does need some work. My comments are in bold, italics or strikethrough. To whom it may concern, Dear Fare Evasion Manager, I am writing in response to your letter dated date, regarding the alleged fare evasion incident that took place on Wednesday 02 Oct 2024. Id I would like to...
