    Penalty fare for daughter using complimentary delay repay ticket

    Such an argument would be an appeal to customer service, but would not assist in legal proceedings. The requirement to hold a valid ticket is a requirement in criminal law and is not subject to assessment of contractual fairness such as prominence of terms which might apply if it were a civil...

    "Penalty fare" signs & announcements - how are they allowed?

    Leaving the shop without paying and with the requisite intent is a sufficient, but not necessary, condition to result in theft. Theft can also be committed by consuming a product, placing it in a charity collection bin, or opening or damaging it to the extent it cannot be resold. The latter...

    Missed last connection at Chester due to poor information at Euston

    You'd have been entitled to alternative transport to your final ticketed rail destination, such as a taxi. You can claim DelayRepay based on when you would have gotten to Little Sutton had you done so, or your actual arrival.

    Indeed. It is rare to the point of unknown for matters to proceed that quickly.

    Penalty fare notice - card blocked by TfL

    It's no different to a passenger presenting one physical card at the gate and a different one to the inspection. Setting a different default card for normal transactions and for express transit is an extremely unusual thing to do and there should be no expectation on TfL to accommodate such...

    Penalty fare notice - card blocked by TfL

    This isn't correct. The same device card will not present different DANs depending whether it is presented by Express Transit Mode or a normal payment invocation. If it does, the device is not following card scheme rules. If on the other hand a passenger has for whatever reason chosen a...

    HELP! Intention to prosecute - GTR draft response

    The only Royal Mail service that guarantees a delivery time and compensates if it is not met exactly is Special Delivery. Tracked 24/48 and cheaper services have a "delivery aim", and only if this is missed by more than 3 working days is compensation paid out, by way of a book of 8 1st class stamps.

    Not allowed onto the station until 20 minutes before the train...

    A few stations operate things like this, generally to avoid passengers “accidentally on purpose” getting on the preceding train. You can avoid this by simply choosing a traditional paper ticket. The magnetic stripe doesn’t have enough capacity to contain the selected train so you will be able...

    Greater Anglia / ITAL £12k demand after Staff Oyster boundary issue

    Historical reasons about what line was operated by whom. Bad advice if OP wants to keep their job. Push back too hard and it could easily become a disciplinary matter as well as a court matter.

    Advice for SJPN - Byelaw 18(1)

    A guilty plea on the day of trial normally attracts a 10% discount on the fine. That being said the difference between 10% and a third is unlikely to amount to very much, the fine is usually no more than a few hundred pounds, the main financial imposition is compensation and costs, which aren't...

    Travel Irregularity Report - SWT - need advice

    There is no requirement to scan an e-ticket other than to open ticket gates or when requested by staff. Scans at gates and by staff are recorded to a database.

    60+ oyster misuse

    TfL normally prosecutes under section 17 of their Byelaws, which is a non-recordable offence. Not automatically. However it is usual in TfL cases for an attachment of earnings to be issued for fine, surcharge, compensation, and costs, unless you advise the court that you can and will pay these...

    TfL contactless payment failed despite no obvious issues and had to go onto TfL website to authorise my card.

    Could have been your bank misinterpreting one of the transactions as fraud. Assuming the card now works for travel you should have no concerns.

    TfL Fare Evasion SJPN Byelaw 17(1)

    It is incredibly unlikely this will be "career-ending". No, but it should be noted that the deadline to respond is not the day on which the court will handle your case. That is the day it becomes "ready for processing"; it will typically be a few more weeks before it reaches the top of the...

    Can TFL demand your scam payment card or that you turn out your pockets under law?

    TfL can require you to hand over your ticket for inspection and verification of validity. This in theory includes bank cards when being used as a ticket. Whilst they do not then have the right to retain a bank card and doing so would be theft, it would be the owner of the card, which is the card...
