    Disposing of Used Tickets?

    I think that clause got taken out of the NRCOC/T a few revisions ago.

    Caught using 60+ oyster

    Most offences charged by TfL do not appear on a basic or standard DBS. An enhanced DBS check may show the information if the reviewing officer deems it material. As for your employment, it depends on your employer's policy. Some employers have ways of accessing criminal conviction information...

    Liverpool Street stopped by greater Anglia for buying ticket short of full fare

    In the UK we have paycheques, not "checks". And the valediction in a formal letter like this is "Yours faithfully", not "Kind regards".

    Urgent Help Needed: Thameslink Fare Evasion Notice Received Late Due to Address Change

    I endorse the preceding post by WesternLancer in its entirety. To add briefly: Any fine paid previously will be refunded back in due course, this will not necessarily be fast The discount for pleading guilty can be obtained by pleading guilty in court when the case is called on Entering a...

    End of the line for Paris’ iconic metro ticket

    As had I. Where are you getting that understanding from? What other cardboard tickets do you understand to be continuing as normal past 01•JNR•25? It appears to me that the new ticket range will be loaded to Navigo Easy cards or phones. Where are you getting that understanding from? My...

    Northern Still Using FAX Machines

    Because the network that supports fax machines will stop working in 2027. Because the railway is a heavily unionised industry and the unions block changes that are noncontroversial in 99% of workplaces because they think, usually correctly, that they can extort extra money from employers in...

    Northern Still Using FAX Machines

    The PSTN phone network is being switched off in the coming years which will make them unusable.

    Disposing of Used Tickets?

    Once you've finished your journey satisfactorily if you have no need of the ticket for DelayRepay or expenses etc., you can dispose of the ticket after leaving your destination station. (CCSTs should be placed in general waste as apparently the magnetic stripe makes them non-recyclable. I am...

    Southeastern Off-Peak day return query

    Correct. But returning to the OP's question, no off peak ticket purchased for 7 November will be valid any earlier than 7 November. It might be valid later depending on the ticket type, but will never be valid earlier. Off-peak tickets can be bought up to the point of travel, so buying them in...

    South Western Railway Fare Evasion

    When you paid, you provided details that you can be traced from, such as your billing address.

    Single justice notice

    The offence alleged in the SJPN does not exist; it is a hodgepodge of two different offences and is in my opinion bad for duplicity. However, this is a difficult thing to argue in court.

    End of the line for Paris’ iconic metro ticket

    Nevertheless, this happens regularly across the EU.

    Result of court case - TFL fare evasion

    It would be much less than £45 yes, but we have moved past the point at which this might have been relevant.

    Southeastern likely prosecution

    It's an out of court settlement, not a court settlement. Out of court settlements can be for whatever sum the parties agree on, subject to any relevant rules on unconscionable bargains. The settlement I am thinking of was that of Jonathan Burrows, a Southeastern passenger who worked in finance...

    Southeastern likely prosecution

    The investigators will find this very strange. Normal people do not randomly rotate between Oyster, paper tickets, and contactless cards for regular journeys. They use one method and stick to it. If you plan to maintain this part of your story it is strongly advisable that you pull together...

    Southeastern likely prosecution

    They have offered out of course settlements in the past for over £30,000. I have every confidence that you will not be taken to court if you cooperate. They will likely look at all the journeys in your account and want to be paid for them where they don’t match the journey they think you made.

    Railcards to go up by £5

    The short answer is they just don't. The longer answer is probably that RDG (or its predecessors) probably don't want to offer the discounts to those users as it would diminish the first class product, or that they don't want the discount to be used for peak/commuting travel in 1st, or the like.
