I know i have come across like that due to the fact i was extremely worried
I totally accept my error and will now use all the great advice and criticism ive recieved in this thread
Thank you for everything and i hope to keep you up to date
No dont have any of my old tickets
Haha sods law again moved to preston that week gave em both my preston and manc uni address
Ive got proof that i just moved to preston though
Btw which address can i expecg the letter to come to
They did a check on my manc address
Thank you for all the advice i will wait for the letter now and keep the forum updated
Any tips on how to reply to the letter? And is there a time limit on when the letter should be sent back?
When should i be expecting this letter?
I said bolton as an instinct like a reflex action i just wasnt thinking
Yep i can see how im guilty in the eyes of the law and my intentions are regardless in this case
Any pointers on how to write the letter at all?
I completely understand im in the wrongin the eyes of the law even if my intentions were innocent .. im just lost now on how to settle this asap an hopefully without a court appearance
Youre right they would argue that .. Have no clue what to do now i just really want to get this out the way being my last year in uni ive got my dissetation and projects due but just cant get this off my mind
Will the fact that i emailed them straight away not go in my favour either?
By actually going to purchase a ticket have i not shown i am not intending to evade a fare.. Simply that i made a mistake.. Ive never been in any trouble before at all .. Why for a matter of a few pounds would i do it? It was simply that i board from bolton so often that the first thing that...
So does the truth not matter? I genuinely made a mistake when saying bolton.. I had other things on my mind .. No i was under no pressure at that point.. If i asked you your age and u got it wron is that not a genuine mistake .. Mistakes do happen!
Yeah i totally accept im at fault for it...
I know this will sound hard to believe i walked right past it without knowing entered from the side of preston station and didnt see it .. Was my first time using preston station .. My full intention was to get a ticket on the train but sods law the ticket check didnt pass by . And obv cant...
Tibbs thats definitely how i felt a bit under duress
How much are the fines normally
Would they have leniency for a first time offence an the fact im a full time student without employment
Ive already emailed there prosecutions dept telling them ehat happened and offerring to settle a reasonable sum.. If they agree to settle what financial damage can i expect.. Not using a sympathy card but as a student 900 quid load for three months how much should i be looking to put aside...
It seriously was an honest mistake.. Stupid mistake yes but stupid .. I cooperated fully with the inspector .. Id rather settle out of court .. Is there nothin that can be done? Anyone else ever get taken to court on this? Anyone ever been in this situation and can share their experience
Ive...
So theres absolutely nothing i can do? What would a substantial offer be? I really want to keep this out of court.
If it goes to court an im found guilty what would happen?

They are completely different.. As i said it was an honest mistake when...
Jcollins no i did not
Its not an excuse i know its wrong it was an honest mistake .. Every other time i have travelled it has been from bolton this was my first time from preston

I know im in the wrong and will...
