You should be able to pay this with a credit card. As others have said if you don't pay then EMR will prosecute you in the Magistrates Court for the incident that took place on the day you were caught. You would be found guilty and have to pay: - A fine based on your income (usually...

I agree with others about the third paragraph, it needs re-wording. The final paragraph should start with something like 'I wonder if it would be possible to...'

I'd take the bit out that says you have stopped travelling by train and are now using the bus. It sounds insincere. I think you also need to add something about what you have learned from the incident, for example the impact of fare evasion on the railway. You need to ask if it would be...

Thanks for letting us know. While it’s generally not necessary to use a solicitor they can often obtain a speedier outcome, albeit it at a cost.

What's likely to happen next is that Chiltern Railways will send you a letter saying thatthey have received a report and are considering prosecuting, but asking for your version of events before they decide how to proceed. I suggest writing a short, concide reply mentioning the following: -...

If the OP is doing any further travel around London on the day then I’d buy: Kenton to London Zones 1-6 off peak day Travelcard £10.40 Boundary Zone 6 to Didcot Parkway off peak day return £13.90 Total £24.30 Only slightly more than a point-to-point ticket but gives unlimited travel on rail...

I’d say the issue is with London Underground for not training their staff correctly. I would like to see more geographical routeings than operator restrictions but the concept of operator routed Travelcards is not new - it’s been a thing for at least 25 years, if not longer and it’s not a...

The ticket is absolutely valid on all rail services and underground services in fare zones 1-6 and all TfL buses. (Before anyone corrects me it’s not valid on a couple of services, eg Heathrow Express and HS1 to Stratford but that’s not the issue here.) The Greater Anglia restriction only...

I’m sorry but unless I’m missing something obvious but solid Trainsplit not suggest the split at Darlington?

I agree we should not have TOC specific fares that historically were set up to be an ORCATS raid and effectively offer very little saving but come with the loss of considerable flexibility. Consider Crewe to London: LNR only £52.70 off peak/£99.20 Anytime (there’s even a super off peak at...

Trainsplit charges a share of savings fee if it finds a split - you get to keep 85% of the saving. If you’ve found a combination of tickets that Trainsplit isn’t offering then post details and I’m sure Trainsplit will sort it quickly. On the other hand, if you’ve used Trainsplit to identify an...

Welcome to the forum! Algebra is not my strong point so can you tell us where A,B and Z are please so we can offer you the best advice. I’m guessing that Wembley Stadium and Marylebone are two of the stations involved.

There is no need to purchase an additional ticket. Who told you that you needed to? A Stevenage to Manchester Off Peak Return is valid via Leeds anyway, regardless to any acceptance because of severe disruption.

I’ve just walked through Euston, thankfully not travelling from there today! Extremely busy concourse, even the new advertising screen has been switched to a message about disruption. At the risk of going off -topic, those who advocate compulsory reservations would do well to explain how they...

It doesn’t but knowing the railway we’d end up with countless examples of it working the other way round.

The at Stevenage issue isn't with KeyGo, the problem is people at large thinking contactless is already valid to Stevenage - not unlike the Stansted Airport situation. Funnily enough the inter-city fares between Stevenage and London are cheaper! I believe this is what KeyGo does but what...

You should not use any form of ID badge in a public place with the Railtrack logo (or any other railway logo) on it.

Agree, it's not ideal although the Trent Valley serice would often be a couple of minutes late. Problem is without the service from Northampton becomes worse. Wasn't there a plan for a 2nd Trent Valley service every hour that would go via Northampton?

I'm locking this thread for now as there isn't anything more to add until @daisynova receives contact from GTR. @daisynova - when you get a letter from GTR report this post by pressing the 'Report' button in the bottom left hand corner ad we will re-open the thread for you.

Based on what you've told us you were given permission to travel by an authorised person. The problem is going to be demonstrating this. 'But the man on the platform said...' is one of the most frequently given excuses into ticketing irregularities on the railway. If you're going to pursue...
