To close this off, I was given a £80 fine and the remaining fare on a standard ticket for my journey.

I received mine 16 days after my travel date a few weeks ago. I was falsely accused in the past (4 years ago roughly) and that took a couple of months to arrive. Hope this helps

Thanks for the comments and yes, it has certainly been a lesson to learn from. I understand how that may be how a prosecutor looks at the case najaB. This wouldn't be how I'd handle it, but the time pressure of the getting to the exam made me panic. I've learnt that my actions were stupid and...
