If you feel the amount refunded in line with the rules is morally excessive, then I would suggest keeping what you consider appropriate, and donating the surplus to a charity.

Not invariably: While trying to be respectful to the OP, the Idea that it makes sense to get a taxi to save something on a train fare is hard to believe.

The major risk is that now that the railway know that the OP has dodged a fare, they will follow up on the basis of name and address (which the OP quite correctly gave) and Uber account (which I would expect to be available from the ticket having been scanned) to see if there are other...

OK. I stand corrected.

While I wouldn't disagree with your conclusion (the OP's story does have some serious holes in it) I'm not sure that there was a letter from the railway other than the initial letter we've been shown at post #24, and the letter referenced in #29 which we haven't yet seen.

Looking back at paragraph 2 of post #1, I rather suspect that on this occasion the railway may have been reading this forum, has connected the posting to the case, and has decided that in the circumstances they would not want to risk the case going any further and becoming more public. Or maybe...

So in light of the rest of @ABB125 's message, how are are you proposing to explain on inspection of your ticket that you are en route between home and an international railhead?

There's no guarantee of them using email - you will need to make sure you can still receive paper post. So if you move you will have to - make sure that the railway prosecutions people have details of your new address and/or - set up postal redirection through the Royal Mail - see...

Welcome to the forum As you have paid the penalty fare, it's most likely that this is the end of the matter. But we can't guarantee this: it's possible that the railway will now look back at your previous tickets, and want to know more about it. So keep a close eye on your post (and emails as...

In fairness, most if not all of the signs can be individually justified, and some of them are safety/security related. And all credit for the TfW signage and card reader being on the side for the Wrexham line - and both TfW and Merseyrail signs explaining that you need to use the right card...

Available on the webpage that I quoted in #205 above.

If I've understood https://tfw.wales/ways-to-travel/rail/ticket-types/pay-as-you-go/north-wales correctly, @waveyswirley could have tapped in at Neston and out again at Bidston on the TfW North Wales PAYG scheme, before tapping in on a (separate?) reader to use the Merseyrail scheme from Bidston...

Sorry, but I don't feel able to comment on the impact on someone planning to become a lawyer. My general advice for any (actual or potential) student would be to - look at the website for the relevant regulator to see what it has to say - look at the website for the institution you're...

Thanks

It varies from case to case. But I would expect the railway to come to a decision when they have all the information they think they need, or when they have all the information they think they are going to get. It's worth remembering that neither of these tests are the same as having all the...

Good for them. What's WATAG?

Which the internet tells me are 4.1 metres for 13'6" and 4.4m for 14'6" - much the same as (and I would guess within a rounding error as) current buses.

Again, my ignorance is showing here. For comparison, how tall were double decker buses in 1934?

You, of course, know your professional life and ambitions better than we possibly can. But in our experience, far more people worry about the impact of a conviction than actually have to. If your current/planned career has a regulator or some sort of professional body, have a good look at...

Or it may have been to allow the trains to reach Liverpool *at all*. If the route through Warrington is blocked, then diverting via Newton at least allows a Manchester to Liverpool service to run - although Warrington passengers like you (and Liverpool South Parkway passengers like me) lose out.
