I've got a two-rate SMART meter. Charges cheap rate between 00:30 and 07:30 (01:30 and 08:30 during BST)

It's not exactly clear to me what happened. You purchased a ticket from Avanti You intended to use this ticket to travel on the Stansted Express from Stansted to London The train was cancelled You took a coach Was it a rail replacement coach? Or a normal scheduled coach? Did you buy a new...

There’s more to it than just defrosting but Tesco announced yesterday that all their scratch bakeries are converting to bake off.

It's very easy to over-analyse things but the reality is no-one knows exactly what TPE are going to do here. I'll make the following general points about these sort of cases: - What you've done is wrong, but it isn't the biggest crime either. The reality is, in the grand scheme of things...

Which railcard have you got?

While you don't have to say anything more than that they could say where they were at the time.

I don't think it's just cost. It's also convenience, the world moves on.... Let me give you a non-railway example. I follow a rugby team and attend a large number of matches all over the UK and Europe (and sometimes even further afield). Historically an allocation of tickets for away matches...

Which train company are you dealing with? Transport for London or Southeastern? Can you upload a copy of all the paperwork you have received in respect of this (do redact before uploading it). Include anything you were given on the day you were stopped. Has your bank card been inspected on a...

As ever, the railway tries to confuse things using terms like 'e-tickets'. A better description would be barcode tickets. All tickets will be moving to barcode ticket format, whether purchased online, at a ticket office or at a ticket machine. A big advantage of barcode tickets is they can be...

It's a bit of a tricky one. Firstly, the person who has been sent the letter needs to reply to it. They need to say it wasn't them. So far, so good - people do give false details and train companies are used to peole replying saying 'it wasn't me'. GTR might write back to them asking for a...

Welcome to the forum! I agree with what other forum members have said. Legally speaking, you have comitted a criminal offence by travelling with an invalid ticket and a Penalty Fare is an appropriate remedy for this. I would pay it asap to benefit from the discounted rate and chalk it up to...

@balotelli95 did not realise they couldn't use Oyster at Twyford. This is a simple error to make and a Penalty Fare is an appropriate outcome. Had the ticket inspection not have taken place then @balotelli95 would not have been unable to touch out and it is likely that they would have been...

I think the email is ok to send. I would just reply to the email as it keeps everything in one place.

Did you include a case reference number when you emailed GWR?

I suspect the reason for Old Street being a London Terminal will go back to the 1970s and the British Rail takeover of the Northern City Line.

If you have a case reference number from when you were stopped than I would email their investigations, appeals and prosecutions team at IAP@tfl.gov.uk I also agree with setting up for your post to be redirected to your new address.

Your letter needs more adding to it if you want to have any hope of keeping this out of court. I suggest reading TfL's Revenue Enforcement & Prosecutions Policy, particularly section 8 which details the factors they will take into account when deciding whether to prosecute or not...

Welcome to the forum! TfL take misuse of Freedom Passes very seriously and prosecution under the TfL Byelaws is the usual outcome. TfL do not offer out of court settlements, very occasionally they will give a final warning instead of prosecution but there has to be a compelling reason to do...

Agreed, having re-read the opening post.

I would check you ticket purchasing account and work out how many times you have travelled with an invakid ticket. Then, send a similar reply to the previous one but add something like 'I've checked my online ticket purchasing account and believe that between ddmmyy and ddmmyy I have evaded my...
