    GWR Penalty Fare - few questions/ wrong details, wrong fare (?)/

    The reason I thought about the appeal was that I thought it might make a difference with regard to my record. I mean, that if the appeal got through, that maybe instead of being considered a dodger in GWR records, I would get a note that I appealed or so ... I really don't know how this...

    GWR Penalty Fare - few questions/ wrong details, wrong fare (?)/

    GWR Penalty Fare - few questions/ wrong details, wrong fare (?)/

    Hi, It's my first thread on this forum so I'm sorry in advance if I ask about completely obvious matters. This Sunday (08.04) I was traveling from London Paddington to Reading (with GWR) and got a Penalty Fare issued as I was unable to show a valid ticket for my journey. I simply lost the...
