The ticket is marked 'Valid only via Salisbury'. Ditto the return portion.

I hold an Off-Peak Return ticket with Senior Railcard discount to travel from Highbridge & Burnham (HIG) to Ryde St Johns Road (RYR) tomorrow, Saturday 19 November, returning Monday 21 November. I need to break my outbound journey at Fratton, arriving there no later than 1045. The itinerary...

I imagine that a bar on prosecution for a Section 5(1) RoRA offence was not added because the draftsman correctly concluded that any passenger to whom a penalty fare is issued must have supplied his name and address and, having thus adopted one of the three courses of action required of him by...

That may be so, but currently she has a conviction recorded against her which needs to be set aside, following which there can be no telling whether a return to court will prove necessary. If the OP is put to legal expense in so doing, it is sensible to preserve her ability to apply for a costs...

Nevertheless the OP should apply for it as she will otherwise not be able to obtain an award of costs in respect of any legal expenses she incurs in securing an acquittal.

If the options provided by searching via the Law Society's website are too overwhelming then you may do better to try approaching the law firms whose details appear in the two additional links I provided. I can't tell whether the reviews given for those firms via those links are accurate, so...

Regarding your draft statutory declaration, tick the box in the heading adjacent to 'section 16E'. This is the section in the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 setting out the procedure for voiding proceedings begun by SJPN of which the defendant is unaware. You refer to the SJPN having been posted...

I'm well aware of the lamentable state into which the justice system has fallen. However, knowing that to be the case is no justification for 'getting past' the court's lack of time to perform its functions correctly if that amounts to turning a blind eye to convictions stemming from a...

Another disturbing feature of this case is that the clerk who advised the justices who dealt with this case failed to note that the penalty fare notice tendered in evidence by the prosecution demonstrated that you had supplied your name and address when asked to do so and thus satisfied one of...

Pleased to see that @some bloke has picked up the point I had proposed to make about the unlawful employment of the Single Justice Procedure. The paperwork the OP has uploaded demonstrates conclusively that the OP gave her name and address when it was requested for the purpose of completing the...

It would indeed be helpful if the OP provided the details of his son's case that other posters have requested. That said, the implication of the account given is that the penalty fare charged was the statutorily prescribed sum of £20.00. In turn this would mean that the debt collectors are...

https://northernrailway.force.com/s/article/How-to-make-a-complaint has a 'Make a complaint' button which brings up the first page of their complaints process for me. Is this the web link that failed for you?

In this hypothetical case "the station at which the train last made a scheduled call" turns out to be Weston Milton. FWIW, Anytime Single fare from this station to Worle is currently £2.90. How can the short faring be discovered other than by the RPI involved seeing the ticket from Taunton...

I completely agree that your daughter should have been treated no less favourably than any other traveller. The only difference I can see between your daughter's position and that of a traveller who says that he has forgotten to bring his railcard is that the ticket your daughter produced...

GWR were already playing hardball by reporting for prosecution rather than requiring purchase of a replacement ticket or issuing a penalty fare. Unless you have access to inside information you simply cannot know whether GWR intended to write something other than what they actually wrote. This...

I disagree. This is not a side point, but goes to the heart of what response should be made to the GWR Head of Revenue's letter. Unless and until GWR indicates that that letter was in error, and should have read "BRISTOL TEMPLE MEADS to BICESTER VILLAGE", the correct course for the OP's...

I don't regard the 'forgotten railcard' policy as being applicable to this case at all. As expressed in railway documentation, and in particular NRCoT, it is nothing more than a contractual entitlement to refund on one occasion in any 12 month period of a fare or penalty fare paid as a result of...

The fact that GWR's prosecutions department has not alleged an offence in relation to travel from Bristol to Bicester suggests that it does not consider that an offence in connection with such travel had yet been committed. Since the OP's daughter was at the stage of enquiring as to the...

If I have followed your account correctly, you already possessed a 16-25 digital railcard which you needed to set up on your new phone. What you say suggests that your railcard was already set up on your old phone, and that what you had not yet done by the time of your interview by the...

I'd be interested to hear how you arrive at that assertion. Some superficial research hasn't revealed a legal definition of what constitutes a ticket in a contactless ticketing system and I doubt that it's an issue that has yet been considered by the courts. The Railway Byelaws of 2005 don't...
