You are correct. Standalone validators say "card accepted" or words to that effect when a contactless card is used.

That's how it is normally with CS sales. One gets the impression they'd rather not accept Railcards at all if they had the option.

The offence is to default upon the requirement, or to fail to do at least one of the three things one must do. The language is the language of the time, and does not require the default to continue up until the day of attending court. Once the offence is committed, it cannot be uncommitted...

As I and others have told you on multiple occasions, your extensive quotations from the CrimPR are of no assistance to OPs. It is one of the rules of this section of the forum that posts should be "constructive" and "directly relevant", and should avoid "introducing concepts that aren't...

If you have made payment, keep proof of payment (such as a screenshot of the payment confirmation screen if paying online). You do not also need to write to them.

Glad to hear it's all sorted and thanks for coming back on.

Might be worth mentioning this in the ongoing thread https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/passenger-unfriendly-downsides-of-e-tickets.275092/unread

My local SE station ticket office window is festooned with things they can't/won't/don't do, e.g. retail Oyster, help with Contactless, sell advance tickets in the morning peak, print TODs

Is there a list of the affected stations? Only Deal and Otford are mentioned in the article.

The offence that TfL charges people with in your situation (section 17 of the TfL Byelaws) will not usually appear on a criminal record check.

If you got on a LNER train with a Lumo ticket, were charged for a new ticket, and paid the sum requested, that is the end of the matter as far as the railway is concerned. You will not be prosecuted or get in any further trouble for this. If you think you were charged incorrectly or too much...

I work in a senior role in the banking industry and this has come up from time to time in my career. The examples the OP mentions are the top 1% of seriousness and the action taken there is far apart from the action which might be taken against someone who chanced their arm one morning or...

Yes you can include it as it was part of the ticket cost, although the more complex your request the higher the chance that it will be paid out wrongly and you will have to chase.

A basic check would reveal if you have been convicted of a recordable offence in the past twelve months.

This might help. A credit check would be unlikely to.

No offence would be committed though if gripped on the way back there could be some awkward questions as to why you are travelling in the wrong direction.

Have you tried giving them a ring on 0343 222 1234? If TfL thinks there's an unresolved charge, the card is likely to be blocked from use and/or show up as invalid if you encounter a ticket inspector, so you need to get this worked out one way or another.

The case has been moved from Bexley to Bromley magistrates court. The email above in post #55 stated that the case would be withdrawn on the hearing date. The hearing date hasn't arrived yet so the court is not aware that the case is being withdrawn. As long as you trust that Southeastern will...

Northern can make a section 142 application to reopen the case and then offer no evidence, although it is not at all clear that is what they plan to do. In your shoes I would be attending court to make certain the matter is dropped, properly and permanently.

I don't use Trainline so wouldn't know, but I do know that tickets can also be bought through the browser.
