This ASLEF document says pay is £50,815.

Interesting... A few weeks ago, I bought a London Terminals - Reading ticket from a Southeastern TVM at St. Pancras. Being a silly billy, I forgot that it didn't include the tube! Anyway, popped up to the East Midlands Ticket Office and asked for a new ticket - they endorsed the current one with...

This is from the 'launch'/PR event at Kensington Gardens.

This was a driver announcement about ten minutes before the train was scheduled to depart from Dover Priory. 'Ladies and Gentlemen this is your driver speaking, there is currently a minor fault with the train, I've been on the phone to the call centre and they've advised me to turn the train...

Chiltern are probably missing from the list as they don't have a revenue protection department that deals with prosecutions.

Indeed! FGW sent a circular around today regarding the ticket - it definitely can be issued (by them).

First Great Western will sell these tickets, it took me an email to Chris Brock (Fares Strategy Manager) to clarify this and a circular should shortly be sent around clarifying that this ticket is for sale. Chris further added that this ticket is to be available from all ticket offices...

Yes, just ask at the nearest ticket office. The SDR is £28.40 (undiscounted).

It depends on a number of factors, the maximum fine for the offence is £1000. Generally it's based on your weekly wage, whether you pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity etc. The largest fine I've seen for a Byelaw 18 prosecution (first offence) is £350 + ticket cost (£0.50?) + victim...

Wouldn't is be quicker for staff just to wear their name badge and ID card as they are meant to when they work? Only if it meets some categories that take milliseconds to work out: Namebadge? --Yes-> Ticket Namebadge? --No-> ID Card? --Yes-> Ticket Namebadge? --No-> ID Card? --No-> No ticket...

Funny you should say that. I travel with GW a fair bit, the attitude seems to be (from the staff) "You can see I'm wearing uniform, I must be staff", generally I only pick on staff who aren't wearing name badges and also don't have their ID card on, or it's clearly not the person who announced...

Would you care to back up your point at all? Currently you are effectively being a 'troll' by adding nothing useful and just disagreeing. Can you provide some evidence that a sign saying the below quote has no actual legal background? I can't believe hundreds of thousands of signs saying that...

It is indeed. Some "interesting" comments about him online. A quick look at his directors profile shows he was previously a director of the disolved Wessex Trains Ltd and that South Coast Railway Ltd was incorporated on the 22 March.

They are advised in general terms when interviewed the offence they are reasonably suspected of having done. The letter refers to both the Bye laws and RoRA. This is common for operators to do and is perfectly correct to do. I won't name the prosecution manager who I have a letter from...

The OP is not being prosecuted currently, they are asking for information to aid a decision to prosecute. The summons document if the OP eventually gets one will have the exact offence.

Train companies generally write to you in "general terms", First Group normally put a statement in their letters along the lines of "Railway Byelaws and Regulation of Railways Act applies". Essentially this allows them to follow either line of prosecution depending on what you say, so that's...

Which Train Operating Company was it please? Generally, I think RJ is right (that you should tentatively call). If you explain the predicament carefully, explain you haven't received the follow up letters and that you are eager to settle the matter, I too would hope the company would accept an...

So you would advocate a South Eastern approach? If you are not aware, staff are expected to be visible on the train (dispatching from one of the rear(ish) passenger doors [not the cab]). This expectation is maintained even on the busiest of services, the only exception being when you fear for...

Indeed we are, I know quite a few of (but not all) SE's RPIs and EOs, none of whom would do this. My advice to the OP if they so wish to complain; SE will take that accusation extremely seriously and the staff member will be disciplined if the investigation shows they acted in this way...

Are passengers entitled to do this? Perhaps more specifically what I am asking is are there any legal implications to doing this? I quite agree. They keep asking for my age or "proof of address", which just gets refused flat out.
