    URGENT: SHORTENED JOURNEY ISSUE

    I really don't know. They might make the effort to match it up but equally they might just delete what you sent them. Do not lie to them. If the incident only happened two days ago then the inspectors report might not even be on Chiltern's system yet. Chiltern will write to you but it will...

    Address the lketter to Mr Willis - he's the person who wrote to you. The second paragraph needs some rewording, maybe say what you've learned.

    Welcome to the forum! Rail fare evasion is a serious matter and the train compnay is entitled to prosecute you in the Magistrates Court if they want to. It really doesn't matter if you used a railcard with short distance tickets, it's all an offence and ultimately will make little difference...

    Appealing Thameslink Out of Court Settlement- Advice

    Welcome to the forum! This is a bit of an unusual situation. Fundamentally, if the ticket collection facilities at Slade Green were not working then there's no problem with boarding the train and collecting the ticket at the earliest opportunity. What complicates this is purchasing the...

    Complex Delay Repay Claim Involving Outboundary Travelcard

    There's no problemm claiming with this combination of tickets. You'll need to claim for a 30 minute delay from Southeastern as they caused the initial delay. I've not used Southeastern's Delay Repay site for some time so I don't know if it allows more than one ticket to be entered as part of a...

    Scottish Grand Tour pass vs. Edinburgh - Arisaig return

    It is different in July. The bus timetable is different in July and there are more ferries but do check carefully as the farry timetable seems to vary by day of the week as well as tide!

    GWR - No longer doing advanced tickets on Frome to London Paddington

    How many times each week do you travel? A Flexi-season or even a normal season could work depending on how many times you make the journey. Advance tickets on these sort of routes should never be relied upon for a regular commute. They didn't exist pre-covid and now travel patterns are...

    Scottish Grand Tour pass vs. Edinburgh - Arisaig return

    I think it still can still be done in a day but only in summer. You do need to check the bus timetable very carefully as it does vary, as does tejh ferry timetable from Armadale to Mallaig.

    Caught short fare ticket, interview under caution - PLEASE HELP

    You need to see what the letter asks and reply to the specific questions they ask. This is why it's not a good idea to reach out to a train company before their letter arrives because you can inadvertently incriminate yourself when you don't need to. It's unlikely you'll be prosecuted as long...

    Conductors scribbling on rovers

    I doubt you will have any issues. You're more likely to encounter a member of staff who doesn't know what an ALR is and claim it's not valid. Do enjoy the rest of your trip!

    Caught short fare ticket, interview under caution - PLEASE HELP

    Welcome to the forum! It sounds to me as though you've been doughnutting - travelling from Reding to Paddington using a Reading West to Reading ticket to get through the barriers at Reading but how were you getting through the barriers at Paddington? GWR are entitled to prosecute you in the...

    UPDATED-Expired Rail Card - 4 Months

    My personal view is you are better off waiting for their letter, especially if you don't have a case reference number. In the meantime, try not to worry too much, these things happen and it's normally sortable.

    Southeastern Prosecution – Seeking Settlement Advice

    It's a tricky one. If I've got this right @Manico123 sent a reply by email and got a response saying they would respond by letter via the post. It is possible that SOutheastern have responded but the letter has got lost. On the other hand Southeastern might have forgotten about it...

    UPDATED-Expired Rail Card - 4 Months

    Welcome to the forum! Greater Anglia will normally offer an out of court settlement in cases like this as long as you co-operate with them and haven't come to their attention before. Expect to have to pay the cost of the fares for all the journeys made since the railcard expires at the full...

    Intended prosecution - Chiltern Railways

    Welcome to the forum! My suspicious mind is always aroused when I see Wembley Stadium station mentioned in these threads.... Was you journey from Denham to Wembley Stadium? Or were you going to Marylebone and had purchased a Wembley Stadium to Marylebone ticket and quickly purchased a Denham...

    Penalty fare - greater anglia

    I suspect the OP is dealing with Greater Anglia simply because the slip of paper they were given to exit the station is simple a chit with 'MG11' written on it. I'd have expected TfL to have printed something official to get through the barriers. To be honest, I'd expect GA to do something a...
