    Travel Irregularity: Grantham to Newark Northgate

    I do have a job. I just want to get this out of the way and sorted. I had no idea that it was an offence to board a train without a ticket. I've been sold multiple tickets on the train especially on that route without a mention of this. As FTLO mentioned I'm going to try to get a season ticket...

    Travel Irregularity: Grantham to Newark Northgate

    I did not know it was an offence to board without a ticket. I have paid on the train for tickets before this incident. My funding is supposed to come through at the start of the week and it still hasn't. If I miss college I can have my funding revoked and/or be removed from my course. I am over...

    I'd be happy to pay that so as to avoid criminal charges. Do you know how much their costs might be?

    Travel Irregularity: Grantham to Newark Northgate

    I am over 18, no details were taken, no legal advice/warning was given and I was sold a ticket. I had no idea it was an offence to not buy a ticket at a station with ticket machines. I was told a couple of months ago it was ok to buy a ticket on the train. It's only now that I have attempted...

    Travel Irregularity: Grantham to Newark Northgate

    It doesn't mean I won't get paid at all but I've got enough money for two meals in the day otherwise. I knew it was a risk and I got caught. I'm fully prepared to pay off what is owed. Is there any other advice you can give me?

Again I hadn't received my travel funding for this week and if I do not attend college I can have that funding withdrawn. Additionally there are only six colleges in the country that...
