    Transport Officer pulled me aside.

    Would they not bother reading it otherwise ? I was just trying to get my points across, and show I have put effort into replying to them for this serious matter.

    Transport Officer pulled me aside.

    Ok so this is the explanation I have typed out, which I will use to reply to their letter. This is my explanation of the events on 11th October. I got dropped off at Bolton train station's car park, this is very rare, I usually walk it. When you enter the station through the car park, you get...

    Transport Officer pulled me aside.

    Ok thanks for telling me not to say about the tunnels, and yes I think it was the 6 car train, it was early in the morning, when its really really packed out, when people are stood everywhere, all along the train, and there isn't much space to walk.

    what if I took a video on several days, first recording the date and time that is displayed at the train station then an uncut video to the tunnel ? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Showing its a regular occurrence, and if its an uncut video from showing the date/time in the train...

    I could take a time stamped photo or video of the tunnel not being manned.

    Transport Officer pulled me aside.

    So your saying that they can't use me walking past a officer on the left side of the bridge which I didn't notice, since so many people were going across, and hadn't yet got to the officer I was actually seeking out against me to prove I was ticket dodging ?

    Transport Officer pulled me aside.

    And I hadn't walk past the barricade of officers, and the station I was departing from, I hadn't walked past a facility to allow me to buy a ticket, and on the train I didn't get the opportunity to buy a ticket. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- There were 3-4 officers on the...

    Transport Officer pulled me aside.

    I am not arguing for the sake of it. All I am doing is showing there was no reason for me to ticket dodge. That I was not ticket dodging while I was walking across the bridge, I am just giving reasons as to why I had no intention of ticket dodging. Like how if I wanted to, I could have...

    Transport Officer pulled me aside.

    Thank you, appreciated :) I don't mind paying the fare and a fee, but its not fair if I get charged with ticket dodging and get a massive fine and a criminal record, that is just not fair :( At least now I know I must have to buy a ticket before boarding the train, and that is...

    Transport Officer pulled me aside.

    I understand I'm in trouble since I didn't have a ticket before I boarded the train, but what is the worse thing if I am not charged with ticket evading. But just not having a valid ticket ? Not sure how this stuff works. I had all the intention to buy a ticket, as I've explained, and no...

    Transport Officer pulled me aside.

    I understand, but I was walking on the right hand side, to the officers to the right, avoiding no one. If I wanted to really avoid the officers I told you guys, I would have used the underground tunnel at preston, since they are not manned, so as you can see I had no intention.

    Transport Officer pulled me aside.

    Yeah is laminated, as I said I came through the car park entrance, since I was dropped off there, and I had arrived 1 minute before the train was about to depart, if I were to walk through the whole station back to the front entrance, I would have missed my train, so I decided just to buy one...

    Transport Officer pulled me aside.

    See the thing you didn't read is that i was walking towards a officer on my right hand side, since there was 3-4 in total. I hadn't walked past them yet, just the 1 guy on the left, who I never noticed was there.

    Thanks for replying. I just thought you were allowed to buy a ticket on the train.
