Thanks for getting back to us. That's an excellent result, especially from TfL. I hope you realise that you're *extremely* lucky. From now you MUST get your ticket purchases absolutely correct because if you come to their attention again, you can bet they won't give you a second warning!

One further edit. I have never liked "I am willing to pay...". You're asking the TOC to let you off with a financial settlement, without going to court or getting a criminal record. What you're willing to pay is irrelevant; you'll pay whatever amount they propose to make this go away...

That's a good result - thanks for coming back to let us know!

Very much against use of GPT. As others have said, it sounds quite insincere, and in some cases I feel it's lazy. This is a letter that, in some cases, is the difference between someone getting a criminal record or not. The people writing the letter need to spend the time and energy to try and...

In the most technical sense of the term, no. Without going into the definition of a fine (which is a subject that is somewhat contentious on here), it could be said that only a court can issue a fine. So *technically*, no, he was not lying. However, we've seen a pattern on here where inspectors...

We don't recommend any particular solicitor here, but that name has been mentioned before with some success. However you're jumping the gun here. Solicitors aren't going to be able to do anything until you know what it is the train company are going after you for. So, wait for the letter. Once...

Agree with MCR here. If it was a case that you'd left it at home and it was valid, then most TOCs (train operating companies) will let you have a "once a year" exception, although it's not guaranteed. In your case, you bought a ticket using a discount that (at that time) you were not eligible...

All good except for two lines: First: As such, I am prepared to pay all costs associated with the case, including the outstanding fares in full, along with any administrative costs incurred as a result of this incident. The way I see it is that it's not your position to tell them what you're...

I will preface this post by saying that I know I am not a design specialist - I'm just spitballing here. Take what you will from this post! As much as I would love to see the "old" NSE and InterCity liveries return, I appreciate that BR would have updated them at least once since those days...

One's definitely out and about today - saw one stabled between Southampton Airport Parkway and Shawford. I think 001? Had Poole up as its destination.

Just seen 408 and 401 passing through Bournemouth looking very shiny.

At one point, Brockenhurst had totems on the Lymington platform. But that was back when the slammers were in use; I don't know if they're still there.

You have a good start there but I feel it could use some work; too many run-on sentences and some general cleaning up. My edits are in bold and bold strikethrough, and comments in bold italics. Dear Sir/Madam, <--- if there's a name on the letter, use it, likewise a title: "Dear Prosecutions...

They have up to six months to get the letter to you - that's when they run out of time to take it to court. Once you get the letter, post it here with your personal details and reference number redacted and we'll be able to advise on your best course of action.

Looking good to me. And MotCO's advice is on point.

Only one edit and one suggestion from me. My edits are in bold and bold strikethrough, comments in bold italics. I am so, so sorry. It was immature and irresponsible to be short-faring, and I have deeply learned from my actions. When questioned by your staff member I admitted my actions...

Yeah, you could mention it in the letter. It won't affect things massively but it's good to have these things done correctly!

Every point made above is absolutely valid; this is not a letter you want to send it its current form. My edits are in bold and strikethrough, comments are in italics or bold italics. Dear --------- I want to sincerely apologise for travelling without the correct ticket for my intended...

I don't usually get involved in threads where good advice has already been given, but in this case maybe another voice might help. The advice John gave was spot on - you need to do the legwork here. You need to persuade them that you are absolute serious about resolving this. "I don't know" is...

Assuming it is that thread, you would be best advised to follow the advice already given there. From the little information given, it would seem that you are in pretty serious trouble; TfL nearly always prosecute. If you seriously want help from this forum then re-read your existing thread, take...
