Talking to the Police officers I now know, they barely have time to deal with the serious crimes, let alone minor ones like this. And that's before the cuts that are coming.

It's why tablets and internet forums were invented! I rarely leave the station, I just sit & wait & surf.

At Watford High Street the standard response was to shout 'Stop! Come Back!'. But then again, you'd have to pay me a lot more than a gateline attendant gets to tackle those yobs, so I have absolutely no problem with it.

You'll be watching in 3 minute chunks, one assumes... :lol: What's the title? For <ahem> research purposes...

I was querying the assertion that it was a privilege and not a right to split. NRCoC says you are allowed to use multiple combinations of tickets to make a journey, which makes splitting a right not a privilege given by 'the Railway' and therefore within their power to take away.

I'm pretty sure buying split tickets is a right, which is backed by the NRCoC. When you get to exercise that right, is another conversation.

Reminds me of my friend who used to insist she lived in 'North Chiswick' when really she lived in South Acton! :lol: Back on thread however, mention must go to Bushey Station. More accurately South Watford (or perhaps something Oxhey?) since Bushey is quite a few miles away up a stonking...

^^ What he said! Also these people try to elicit information out of you that they have no right to have, or you don't want to give. I have a very old alleged debt that is still doing the rounds. It's not valid and was challenged and dismissed years ago. It's in a package that seems to get sold...

Also never, ever talk to Debt collectors on the phone. Do everything in writing. If they do call, tell them to contact you in writing and to never call you again. Either send things recorded or send things first class, making sure you get proof of posting. If you do get a letter from the...

If you haven't already, check out Tapping the Admiral just outside Kentish Town West. A lovely place with a nice selection of interesting beers.

Buses that change destination mid-way through the route. Then having a bus that does go to your destination pull out just as yours arrives.

Not at all. Gates can be programmed in various ways to accept or reject tickets. Some tickets are rejected en masse (season tickets often fall into this group) so they can be manually checked. A ticket opening (or not opening) a gate is no indication of whether the ticket is actually valid...

I have no idea, but than again I didn't pitch a number in the first place.

How did you get to £1bn, could you show your workings please? Or did you just pull "the first thing number that pops into my head " :roll:

So if I buy the £140ish Gold Card Ticket, does that mean I need to spend £420 (undiscounted) on tickets over the course of a year to break even? Does this include ALL Oyster spend? Buses, Tubes Overground, the lot? I'm projecting that I'll spend about £1200 on Oyster/Contactless travel...

You go back to first causes IMO. The TPE train cancellation was the cause of all the resulting delay, you wouldn't have been on the (late) Virgin train had that train run, so the claim lies with them.

A friend of mine claimed to live in North Chiswick. Looking on the map, there was more than a hint of South Acton. :lol:

What's done is done. what's important to the OP now is to minimise the fallout. You can sit on your high horse all you like, but I'm more prepared to scrabble around in the dirt of the real world. As to my moral compass - it points just fine. --- old post above --- --- new post below ---...

I think we're talking about 2 different things here. I'm not talking about behaviour in court. Lying in court is a stupid thing to do and the chances of you being caught out is high and the consequences are severe as you've laid out. I'm talking about dealing with the TOC. As far as I'm...

I meant the statute for the criminal prosecution which is the club the TOCs hold over you to get you to pay up. You obviously have way more courtroom experience than me, but I've found that the DJs I've been in front of held a very dim view of companies using penalty charges to punish people...
