    Thanks mate, means alot. At this stage my parents are still worrying about it alot because as of right now i'm at university and my primary path in life was to commission to the army as an officer, which will now be blocked of-course, having a criminal record and that. This has been made clear...

    Can definitely understand their point of view, it is a massive problem for them and I expect the revenue lost from it is in high amounts, especially because of how popular mass events in Cardiff are for those around Wales on game day, and how overcrowded the train gets on these days. I have...

    I understand this completely, i'm sorry for appearing like a brat and in all honesty I was grabbing for desperation, this whole case alongside university has made me have to attend counselling weekly under the impression I have started to feel anxiety regularly, I deeply apologies for appearing...

    Sorry mate was just trying to explain that they are clearly grouping everyone from the incident together (the day was very busy for rugby so i'm sure they have many like me) and not actually paying attention to our responses, sending automated replies to them as-well.

    Sorry that's a typo on my behalf, they see no reason NOT to go to court. My bad. Also was wondering if this proceeds as it is heading currently, would hiring a solicitor to perhaps prevent the criminal record of this incident be wise? As a student the fine will be crippling enough already but...

    Just a follow up for everyone sorry if this counts as reviving a dead thread etc. I sent the first letter explaining my point shortly but offering huge apologies, understand my wrongdoings and offers of administration fees, to which they sent the literal copy + paste response saying they see no...

    That is exactly what I intend mate, will be extremely grateful to take the hit of the cash rather than loads of it + a criminal record.

    Understood, this was my initial idea following in the steps of the kind forum user who managed to get the fine of £75.00 by following the same route. Going to cut alot of the incident report out of my letter i'm going to send after x-mas basically leaving it with apologetic tones, attempt to...

    Sorry for this information, as for the letter and the station: The letter was essentially a notice to inform me that the report has been made and now the investigations team is looking into it, I have 21 days to reply etc, as-well as the leaflet that (in my situation of claiming a short...

    Hi everyone, want to say before I explain the event and the consequences thanks for any advice that you offer! I was given free tickets to watch the last Welsh rugby game in Cardiff by some friends, so I returned home from university (I'm a first year, 18) and attended on the Saturday. For...
