The bill was £360, which is digestable. Am thoroughly happy that the Prosecutor I spoke with was Human, contrary to what I'd been led to believe. A lesson learned and time to move on! Thanks again everyone.

Ok, so, I'm now done! I managed to get to speak with the Prosecutor before the session started, and put my case to her. I was humble, yet contrite, and presented documentary evidence to show, that I was a man of good character, had a back to back history of season tickets upto the date of the...

Have woken this morning, flabbergasted by the continued furvent debate on this topic. Thanks everyone for their input, it is honestly appreciated. Am due in court in a few hours, so will see you all on the other side!

Nice to hear that not everyone on the planet buys their ticket on a Monday, and know exactly when it's going to expire! My situation is more like yours Anme, and not as simple as a Monday - Friday commuter routine.

I've read else where I'll need a pocket full of cash, if he agrees to settle? Any idea what amount?!

Yes you may. And thanks everyone for your advice and support. Will let you know how I get on.

And in your opinion, getting an out of court settlement at the 11th hour?

Understood, and apologies if I've come across as having an attitude. It's not my intention. I'm just incredibly nervous and worried about the outcome of this. I know it's by the by, but SWT have never been out of pocket. Yes I walked through the gates, but honestly thought I'd renew my...

Why do I feel like no-one's on my side here? I've put my hands up and said sorry. I wasn't thinking straight. It's not like I'm a regular evader. I'm a regular back-to-back season ticket holder! It was a one off event, never happened before, and certainly never will again. Yeah I was...

PS. I'm not getting any email notifications when someone posts, so am literally doing a page refresh every couple of minutes!

Is frustrating sitting here, reading everyone's comments and not being able to respond. Moderation of my responses is taking a long time, and time I don't have!

Don't seem that desparate?! What do you want me to do, scream and shout? I am desparate, I've got to be in court in the morning, with the prospect of a big fine, and a criminal conviction that is very likely to impact my career going forward and ability to visit my relatives abroad. I signed...

One very important piece of mitigation has just come to light, having spent yesterday evening looking at the dates etc. On the Sunday before, I'd been out running in my local woods, and had a severe Anaphylactic reaction and collapsed and was rushed to hospital. I was in hospital for 24...

The conversation was the usual. I co-operated fully and honestly with his questioning. What possible connection? I understood that should I get a criminal conviction over this, countries such as Austrlia are not going to allow entry to me in the future?

Hi All, In late November last year, I was stopped at London Waterloo, having walked through open turnstyles without a ticket. On 5th January this year I received a lettericon from SWT Prosecutions Department asking me to submit any mitigating factors to them within 14 days, which I did. Then...
