This could of course be that as a result of WMT making baseless threats the DFT has singled them out and it is not a policy across the board. (We are also assuming that there has been no misunderstanding/confusion as we have not seen anything official or what is happening in practice although to...

Is this true for freedom passes and over 60 passes?

The frustrating thing about the MET on strike days is that the real time train information given on the likes of Bustimes which is normally pretty accurate is a work of fiction It is of course on days like this that the information is most important Eg last night at Harrow showing that the next...

Even the London borough of Bromley don't know when their freedom passes are valid the below being a complete fabrication No wonder people get confused https://www.bromley.gov.uk/public-transport/freedom-passes-older-people The Freedom Pass for older people gives free travel on most public...

I seem to recall reading ( or seeing on a program) that the Preserved London Underground 1938 Stock coasts into the Acton Depot after rail tours There will be better placed forum members who can confirm/deny I certainly remember reading that when the A stocks were making their final journeys...

It is hard to disagree I think we are both right

The big question I ask my self is there any evidence that GWR actually do engage in civil claims I have seen posts from people who appear to work for GWR that assure one that they do but curiously do not share any actual details Of course if they have ever actually made a single claim for...

I have learned that it is a sad fact of life that many times people and or systems dont do what they say they will Too many times it is a "person with a broom" who advises I mitigate this by checking for example When my car insurance renews I check a few days later on ASKMID If I book a hotel...

100% this £27.00 First class declassified Chesham set in use Incredible noise of cavalcade

Can you clarify exactly why you did not have the chance to appeal in time. Do you have any hard evidence that the RPIs said that the PFs would be cancelled? It is a presumably fact that LTW do not have the powers to cancel PFs so all they can do is to ask politely if TL will consider not...

Very wise advice Too many posters here speculate and have no idea what the person/organisation dealing with the case is going to do

But not actually struck off it seems Suspended for 8 Months but this was lifted on review https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8497381/Junior-doctor-28-suspended-dodging-travel-fares-return-work.html Again the authorities did not appear to want to ruin someone's life

Would you be struck off for a byelaw offence? Presumably TFL don't want to ruin peoples lives but do want to teach them a lesson

However it is interesting that you clearly believe that the member of staff not complying with the customer charter is appropriate. The customer charter is of course designed to prevent such confrontations so it is on the face of it clearly the member of staff who is creating the confrontation...

It is not as simple as that My understanding that TFL's policy is in most cases not involving high value passes to issue a Penalty Fare for someone who has not come to their attention in the previous 12 months

Edit posted at the same time as @AlterEgo So you are maintaining that staff should simply decide not to abide by the customer charter because they don't feel like doing so? There are now a huge number forum members who know that this is how some Chiltern staff behave If my understanding is...

Oh yes there might just be a bored officer at the destination However it does assist in weighing up the risk

A little bird suggested to me last week that it is rare that BTP will bother to attend to get involved in ticketing matters (There are plenty of previous posts here on the forum of what I understand to be railway staff saying the same thing)

Ah but you were advised above that the culture is that there is no need for you to know their name Presumably this trumps the charter

I guess you mean Network Rail
