Sorry, got a further question on this. I'm thinking of travelling from Leicester to London on a day when the main line is down, meaning that NRE reccomends travelling to Nuneaton and changing there. This means I don't physically pass through Kettering - am I able to still use a...

There's a fine too. Most likely around 50% of your weekly income (with £120 assumed to be your income if it's lower than that).

Do you potentially have an adblocker or other extension running which is interfereing with the site?

As much as this situation absolutely sucks and in my opinion the company are out of order in fining you - please don't succumb to the temptation to do this. There's every chance you'd be caught, and the consequences for that could be serious - a court appearence, substantial 3-figure fine and...

That's all really helpful, thank you! There's no barriers at Harborough so that shouldn't be an issue, but I'll bare in mind about staff! :) Thanks for the advice! I could afford one, but the nature of my work means I'm only likely to actually be based in Kettering for a couple of months so it...

Hiya - sorry, I know this is probably quite a basic question, just wanted some reassurance. I'm about to buy a season ticket for the first time between Leicester and Kettering. Am I right in thinking that this would also be valid for journeys to/from Market Harborough, which is between the two...

There's only one viable option I could see here. You say you have a disabled bus pass - does that disability make you unable to drive? If so, and the employer knew this when hiring you, and there's no reasonable way to get to work earlier by public transport, and your lateness was nearly always...

Unfortunately for you, that isn't how this works. Intent is judged by your actions, and only has to be present at one point, not throughout the journey. Your action of refunding the ticket, knowing that you did not have any alternative ticket or authorisation to travel, is likely to demonstrate...

It's possible, but far from certain. The railway could choose to reach an out of court settlement, which would mean you'd have to pay them some money but there'd be no legal case against you. This is *probably* the most likely outcome - you were lucky to be caught by SE rather than TFL - but we...

Depends how it's regulated. You wouldn't want a situation where trains were always scheduled to take twice as long as they actually do so that they were never late but always early - it's just blatantly confusing to passengers and only serves to let the railway get away with never having to...

There's no harm in asking TFL again. It's not too late until the literal last moment - if it comes to it, you can even turn up to court early, ask where the prosecuter is, and try to reach a settlement with him/her on the spot. But the odds are against you - TFL are one of the less likely...

https://hub.unlock.org.uk/knowledgebase/filtering-cautions-convictions/#disqus_thread In short, assuming that this is your only conviction, then it will show on these DBS checks for sensitive professions cush as yours for a period of 11 years - so until the 19th of June 2028 in your case. If...

You do have to consider this from the perspective of whether TFL are actually going to believe it or not. What do you do when your mum's travelling? Presumably she takes the card and touches in herself? If so, why is she incapable of holding it for herself? And is there some circumstance that...

Sorry, but I really think you'd have to be a pretty horrible adult to take a seat off a six-year-old kid. They're clearly going to struggle more standing and holding on if it's a busy train.

Unless things have changed, as far as I know being disabled under the Equality Act does not make you eligible for the pass. You still need to be eligible under Section 146 of the Transport Act 2000, which means one of the following must apply: a. Is blind or partially sighted b. Is profoundly...

Are you sure? I've got a bit of experience in that area and know that Asperger's certainly does not automatically entitle you to one - you have to argue you're "lower-functioning" (I'm aware that's beginning to be deemed problematic terminology but it's still what's used) tantamount to having a...

Wouldn't it be good practice, regardless, to make sure that questions asked are 100% literally correct? Subtext can introduce difficulty for people who don't have English as their first language, those on the autistic spectrum, some with learning disabilities and others. If they'd asked "What...

But on a three hour train to Brussels or a five hour train to Amsterdam or a seven-and-a-half hour train to Marseille...

Well, a ban on invisible alcohol would certainly be entertaining to enforce!

Now that makes sense. It also means that someone e.g. having a 5th can, or a small amount of spirits, is highly unlikely to be picked up on so long as they're not causing trouble, but there's a clear rule in place they can use to stop anyone who is :)
