OK. I won't be going to York for a while so I'll look next time I'm there. I have to confess I wasn't aware of the poster in Sheffield until I had the problem-I'm probably not very observant but I honestly never really look at advertisement posters. I think periodic tannoy anouncements would...

Attached is the warning poster at Sheffield station.

Thanks for the advice re the app. Also, thanks to everyone who gave me advice in the first instance, it's very much appreciated. Najab-I have sent you a PM re picture of the poster at the station as I don't think I can post it directly on here.

Forgot to that the settlement offer came after they informed me progress to a court summons had been approved and I sent back a grovelling apology. Furlong -I don't think the cross country train is eligible for penalty fares. I had been buying the ticket a couple of times a week for about 8...

I don't travel by train as much these days but I will next time I'm at the station. I had a really good lok and there wasn't a sign saying anything about the criminal aspect just a poster saying you MAY receive a fine.

Hi everyone. Just thought I'd update on my experience of getting threat of a summons after boarding without a ticket. Basically boarded at York without a ticket with the intention of buying on the train. When I asked for the ticket the inspetor refused and took my details. I took a bit of issue...

thanks for all the replies-got it from Sheffield station and they applied my friend's railcard discount, although think I will get them online from now on as it was quite a bit cheaper!

Hello everyone I am planning to buy an advance ticket for myself and a friend from Sheffield station tomorrow morning to use on Saturday but we will be travelling from a station with no ticket buying facilities. He has a young persons railcard wheras I don't. Can I still buy his railcard...

I've checked my tickets and I was in York that morning so there was no outward journey. I have kept a lot of my tickets but I'm pretty sure not all of them. If the conductor hadn't come down I probably wouldn't have bought a ticket on the train that's true. But generally there would be an...

I don't recall if I had made the journey earlier that day-maybe, if so it's possibe I got a single but my journeys to and from York are quite ad hoc and sometimes I stay over in York. That particular day I don't remember.

I have genuinely never been warned or told to buy a ticket before boarding when buying a ticket. It was a normal train manager as I've bought tickets from him before (and he's never indicated this was frowned upon). I think he was having a drive to issue everyone with a unpaid fare notice as...

Sorry that was unclear... I boarded at York and ticket check was between York and Doncaster. Thanks

Hello everyone. I have had a letter advising me of proposed action and asking me to provide any mitigating circumstances for travelling without a ticket. I often travel to York with work and so I buy a ticket when on the train. Buying on the train works best for me-I have been done this before...
