    Things which cause bus boarding/alighting to be slower now than 40 years ago.

    There is no feeling about electric busses The BDE BME single deckers have a phenomenal rate of acceleration I sometimes return home after a night in the pub and the late night drivers really push them

    Prefix PF appeal services help

    As this is WMT /WMR why is anyone in the slightest bit surprised at this stupidity? ( see many previous threads about their revenue depts behaviour some of which I understand was stopped by DFTO) Their revenue inspectors need to learn a bit of common sense and not stress out their customers who...

    Zip Oyster 5-11 & NR from TfL zone boundary

    However Over 60s and freedom passes can fail to tap in/out with absolutely no negative consequences so why should a 5-10 child not taping out be a problem to anyone? I do accept that it is unwise not to tap in on a TFL bus and possibly Tramlink

    TfL Single Justice Procedure Notice, Medical Student

    I don't see your speeding example as being the same as in the magistrates case one can indeed end up concluding the matter by paying the same penalty but in TFL case one is asking TFL to leave one better off as they their policies do not allow them to recover the money and the fare dodger would...

    Received email from Greater Anglia Fraud Department – advice needed

    Explain to who? Perhaps the OP took legal advice which mandated no further communication

    Cemetery buses - is Merseytravel 129 the last survivor?

    Bit of a cheat but the only time I have been on a cemetery bus service was on the running day when the 140 was no longer going to run to Heathrow in 2019 It was poignant because a good friend of mine is buried there so I actually used the service bus for its intended purpose They also had an...

    Trivia - reserved tram lines running at the nearside of the carriageway.

    Although not reserved I found it a bit hairy driving in Bad Schandau following the Kirnitzschtalbahn Tram with trams coming head on a quite narrow road It certainly qualified as a gutter tramway 1783758021 As I understand it in Prague there are some hefty penalties for drivers who do not give...

    Tyne metro pay for others

    I know nothing about Nexus but it seems extremely unkind of them to imply the opposite in the paperwork I will let you carry on advising the OP as it is clear you do.

    Tyne metro pay for others

    No doubt but to be relevant this needs to have the context of how many of those Ten Thousand just buried their heads in the sand

    Tyne metro pay for others

    Well if I were the OP I would be on the phone right now and would very politely and unentitled ask "Please help me. What do I need to do to achieve an alternative resolution that does not involve court?" Then depending on the answer come back here where other more experienced poster than me can...

    Tyne metro pay for others

    Page 3 invites the OP to get in touch if they wish to discuss a possible alternative resolution which looks hopeful

    Not a bus shelter but a Victorian tram shelter I wonder how old it is...

    My 11-15 zip oyster did not register as a tap in.

    Nothing is going to happen if you have not come to TFL's attention before beyond perhaps a warning letter smacking your wrist TFL policy is not to prosecute under 18s for this kind of thing that if you were over 18 you would probably have been PFd

    Family travelled on one tap and stopped by inspectors

    I think we can all agree that it is extremely unlikely that anything will happen beyond the inspectors report being chucked in the nearest dustbin. (This assumes that the inspector is even going to bother to report it)

    Family travelled on one tap and stopped by inspectors

    What offence do you believe the OP committed ? ( for clarity I am not asking about the other adult whose details were if my understanding is correct not taken) The children would not be prosecuted as per TFL policy 1782903940 That Reddit post is full of ill informed scaremongering

    Family travelled on one tap and stopped by inspectors

    You are correct in that it looks like the officer was doing you a big favour and you would not have been better with a PF As pointed out elsewhere they only took your details and you did nothing wrong having paid for your journey My understanding is that TFL revenue policy would normally deal...

    I certainly think Hovertravel should cough up some money After all they were paid to transport you but did not deliver.
