    "Age of offender" / Low likelihood of repeat in TfL prosecution policy

    In your experience do TFL have a view on prosecutions at the other end of the age spectrum ie a 90 year old?

    TfL Prosecution

    To be fair the photo printing on an over 60 oyster is absolutely dire. My photo faded to being unrecognisable in less than 6 months.

    Flying goals.

    We have also done a top of the BA jumbo before covid I never pay for seat selection on principal but I did pay this time and never regretted it. The last longhaul was 1st on BA A380 with buddy dining and a first class only air bridge which was rather fun and we have enough Avios to do it again...

    Caught using my son’s Zip oyster

    My understanding is that there are actually three possible outcomes from an irregularity report ( There is as far as I can see no such thing as a prosecution report) the third being no further action. It would be absurd to send warnings if an RPI has made a mistake or is confused...

    Gave inspector false information

    Just consider this If you go and fess up to this then you are ( very slight chance) giving them the easiest prosecution they will ever have because you admitted to the crime There is no upside to opening your mouth whatever We have never heard of anyone who had the time or energy to pursue a...

    GA - caught fare evading!

    Just to satisfy my curiosity Did BTP ask for your details with the threat of arrest if you didn't comply or did they arrest you as soon as they were involved without warning? ( I am guessing the former)

    Many thanks for all the comprehensive answers How the world has changed from 20 years ago when we used to put a couple of grand on pre paid FX debit cards and take quite a bit of cash for our family holidays A Legacy Santander zero is a fee free grandfathered credit card that gives the same FX...

    Greater Anglia / ITAL £12k demand after Staff Oyster boundary issue

    I think this is a very good example where ITAL have tried to bamboozle a member of the public into paying twice for the same journey which is gross dishonesty but have changed the way they behave when they are confronted by a solicitor. (This is why it is prudent to use a duty solicitor if...

    Tram operator sued over e-scooter rider death at Waddon Marsh West footpath crossing

    This is a myth although it holds true for old East Germany For example France has only 3 legacy systems out 29 Geneva has only 1 legacy line out of 5 lines Luxembourg has a newish tram system Same goes for Spain 1779874399 Its a very different proposition abroad In Amsterdam for example both...

    Tfl letter

    Which if I may add would very likely have continued taking place if they had not been stopped. I am pretty sure TFL will want their 100s of pounds avoided back and they only way they can achieve this is by a prosecution

    Penalty fare notice - card blocked by TfL

    Not only missing the point but a nice example of victim blaming

    Should I have been given an excess fare ticket all the way to my destination rather than to the next stop?

    Exactly If you have a reservation you have an itinerary by definition and therefore 13.1.2 surely applies Of course the contents of this thread may lead to a counter argument...

    Should I have been given an excess fare ticket all the way to my destination rather than to the next stop?

    This does not relate to the OPs situation I know of someone who travelled on an undisputable valid loophole ticket a couple of months ago and was issued a TIR by Cross Country They learned from the Train Manager that Cross Country policy is that sometimes a TIR is issued not because the person...
