Welcome to the forum! Forum members have given good advice on how to reply to GTR but to pick up on some other points: Clearly, we don't know the full facts about the other incident. There may well be very legitimate reasons why the person was allowed to purchase a ticket to regularise the...

I've made a few minor alterations. I would cut out the bit about your future employment - this is no concern of GTR's. One other thing that needs changing - you say you were questioned at Hitchin station but later in the letter you say your journey was from Kings Cross to Cambridge. Were you...

I've got full visibility of Oyster and contactless journeys. It has been suggested in the past that journeys made using Apple wallet can be problematic as the card number used by the Apple Wallet is different to the physical card it is linked to. I can't remember the exact workaround to this...

We could call them Anytime and Off Peak ;)

Only you can decide whether or not to use a solicitor. They aren't cheap and they cannot change what has happened. As I said earlier what they might be able to do is present your mitigation in a better way than you feel able to do yourself. They key thing here is what mitigation do you have -...

Welcome to the forum! Are you still able to access post at your previous address? If so I would wait until you get hold of the letter and then proceed from there. Alternatively, you could try and arrange for your post to be redirected by Royal Mail - how long is it since you moved out of your...

Thanks for updating us. It is rerally helpful to know the outcome.

More likely that supermarkets no longer sell single use carrier bags.

I might be mis-remembering but I didn't think it was possible to do this any longer, although the NR quoute above is encouraging. Perhaps @MikeWh knows.

That's fine. Please let us know how you get on.

This won't be a £3k fine for a single incident of an incorrect ticket. What it will almost certainly be is an out of court settlement where someone has been caught travelling with an invalid ticket. Their ticket purchasing history will have been checked which will have identified this has...

That's correct. No further action can be taken in respect of the journey you made when the OP was caught. I'm afraid this isn't the case. The reality is Greater Anglia are well known for contacting people haveing obtained their details from ticket scan data without explicitly tellling you...

You have 21 days to return the court paperwork, I expect they will respond before this is up. If they don't then plead not guilty as this will buy more time to get an out of court settlement. Once you plead guilty then it's game over - it really can't be undone. I strongly suspect GTR will...

Moderator Note - we have establisheed that the OP will not go to prison for this and so futher discussion of other cases unrealted to this one is off-topic and not helpful. Just to confirm, TfL do not offer out of court settlements. There are effectively three possible outcomes to this case...

I think your bank statement will be critical here. If that shows that you paid for the journey then that should provide sufficient evidence for an appeal. If it doesn't show that the journey was paid for then I think it will be difficult for an appeal to succeed.

I agree the second is best. One comment - I would say 'I wondered if it would be possible to settle this matter....' rather than 'I respectfully request...'

The letter's pretty good. A few monir amendments: It's apologise not apologize Say 'I wondered if it would be possible to settle the matter without going to court. I am illing to pay the outstanding fares plus your administrative costs in dealing with this matter'. At the end it's 'Yours...

It's quite common for people to give false details. Although staff will try and verify details this isn't always possible and, thakfully, we aren't required to carry ID in this country. If you get further contact about this I would do more than just send the letter back saying 'not known at...

I agree with the amendments suggested by @30907 Please do keep us updated.

Actually there is. Take Stevenage to London Terminals. Anytime Day Return £27.30 (railcard £18.35). 7-day season £117.30. 16-25 and 26-30 railcards allow younger people, at the start of their careers and generally with less money than their 60+ counterparts, to benefit from cheaper travel to...
