I think I agree: my line above about members of this list potentially having less of a defence should the original (and as I understand it, hypothetical) situation proceed to court isn't flippant. We can't advise people to cheat because they will get away with it. However, I can see the reality...

Realistically, if someone did this once, the overwhelmingly most likely outcome would be that nothing would happen: a stroppy letter requiring repayment would limp in as a poor second and a fraud prosecution probably wouldn't make it out of the starting gates. It just wouldn't be cost effective...

Just to pick up on the above points - if you want to rely on your mental health condition, you will probably need to supply written support from your medic/nurse/support worker/similar as to why it could lead you to buying the wrong ticket. It's unfortunately the case that there are people out...

In the absence of tram-trains and accepting that being underground isolated the subway, I see no problem with Glasgow: no one would have imagined through-running between modes, so no one was inconvenienced by the fact that through-running was impossible.

On this point, it's important to understand that a penalty of £100/£50 plus fare is what the law says should be charged. So you are unlikely to get this changed just for your case. To make this different you would have to get the law changed - which would mean a lot (probably several years) of...

So the different approach that TfL may apply to people under 18 will not be relevant. Thanks.

Back when I was a student, our main debating person missed an away fixture when they couldn't find Royal Holloway and Bedford New College in Bedford. They wouldn't have done much better in Holloway either...

To just check on one point - are you aged 18 or more, or are you younger than that?

For the (pre Merseyrail) underground railway in Liverpool and Birkenhead, the relevant point is surely the need to cross the Mersey - and the appropriate solution being a tunnel. Once you have a tunnel from Birkenhead to Liverpool, then given that both town and city centres are on the banks of...

Having resorted to Google maps, I'm unsure if this is just a piece of British eccentricity to be treasured, or downright unhelpful. The thing is, my expectation of 'Descriptor Road East' and 'Descriptor Road West' is that they join up somewhere in the middle - see, for example Blundellsands...

I don't think you're going down the right road. As you have quoted: But 'may' does not mean 'must'. So as the railway officer chose not to charge a penalty fare, at that point the Penalty Fare Regs become irrelevant. You might want to still ask why you weren't issued a penalty fare - but an...

If it ends up in the civil court, then the judge will decide what happened on the balance of probabilities - this is different from what happens in the criminal court where the prosecution must make their case beyond reasonable doubt. As things stand, it's known that you bought tickets for...

Welcome to the forum. Although the notice you have been given is headed 'Report for Prosecution', that's about the railway keeping their options open: they may go as far as prosecution, but it's fairly likely that they won't. Because you were caught without a ticket, the railway could take you...

Thank s for posting this: you might want to take it back down and hide your name and address.

(...) This suggests a degree of desperation on the part of the driver. Such things must happen.

And presumably if there's a new development near the station the in the same way as there's a settlement called Uphall Station the new development could be called Uphall Station Station. And then the station would have to be renamed again to Uphall Station Station Station. And presumably if...

So that rules out the option of renaming the station as 'Best University'.

Just to clarify, I think what is being suggested here is that you make the Statutory Declaration in front of a solicitor, at their offices. And I think that's good advice. I know I should know better, but I did briefly wonder what solicitor you could get to represent you in court for a fiver.

(Edit - sorry, I have messed up the formatting) For what it's worth, the senior Railcard website saysApply in personYou can also apply for your Railcard by visiting any staffed station ticket office and get your Railcard on the same day! Just be sure to allow yourself plenty of time between...

Of which at least one (from a quick look at RTT) calls at WFH to set down only.
