I would purchase an Off Peak Day Return to Euston and start/finish short as appropriate.

Please start your own thread if you need our help and we will be happy to assist. To avoid confusion we only ever discuss one case in each thread because experience has told us that no two cases are ever the same however similar they might seem at first.

I'd have though you need to plead 'not guilty'. if you plead guilty then there won't be another hearing - you'll be convicted because you pleaded guilty!

Ok that's a fair cop then! Next time remember to sit in the rer compartment if you want a more comfortable seat although in my experience the rear compartment is normally 'chav class'!

I've no idea how long the threats last. This sort of behaviour from train companies is a relatively recent thing. Most people who have raised cases on here do seem to have settled (although to be fair we don't always get updated with case outcomes) because they know they done something that's...

Welcome to the forum! This is quite a common tactic used by train companies these days. Essentiall what happens is: Passenger gets caught with an expired railcard, which means the underlying ticket is invalid. Legally speaking this is a criminal offence (because you don't possess a valid...

Once a Penalty Fare is paid that is the end of the matter. It is possible that the train company can check your ticket purchasing history to see if you've done this sort of thing before but cannot realistically be done with travelling in 1st class with a standard class ticket. Such a search...

At Farringdon, there are standalone validators on some platforms and at the top of the escalators to the Elizabeth Line. Their purpose is to enable people arriving at Farringdon from outside the PAYG area, using traditional tickets, to touch in/out and continue their journey by...

GTR will probably settle if you co-operate with them. I would write a short, concise reply stating: - That you are sorry for what has happened - What you have learned from the incident - That you are keen to settle the matter without the need for court action - Offer to pay the outstanding...

As I said upthread, this really comes down to your appetite for risk. If you decide to do nothing Greater Anglia will continue to send letters threatening police involvement, prosecution, fraud conviction etc. It's not clear that they have sufficient evidence to go down that route but that...

Every case is different but as I've said consistently Chiltern usually settle if you co-operate with them.

No need to over think things at this stage. Wait and see what Chiltern say first and then go from there.

Welcome to the forum! It's a shame you replied to Greater Anglia because although there is suspicious purchasing history on your Trainline account there is nothing to show that you used the tickets. Purchasing tickets is not illegal but using them illegally is. To secure a conviction Greater...

Another minor tweak: It was to ease your exit at St Pancras rather than Kings Cross. I'd say 'to enable an easier exit at St Pancras'

The second version is much better.

I think all you can do at tghis stage is a re-hash of what you've already sent to them. I think the potential issue you're gong to have is if TfW are of the opinion that you tried to purchase a short fare. https://tfw.wales/about-us/transparency/revenue-protection-policy

How were you exiting the Elizabeth Line station at your destination.

I'm not sure, each train company is different. You should assume that you might be sent a letter.

We can't guarantee that Chiltern will offer a settlement but settlements are normally offered by CHiltern to people who co-operate with their investigation.

Which is effectively a fares increase.
