If the case gets passed to Transport Investigations Limited.... they are absolutely awful and do not take into consideration when a person makes an honest mistake (I speak from past experience....) However there’s nothing that can be done until you get that initial letter from them! If the...

Hello everyone! It's been a very long time since I last provided an update.... I was due to appear in court in June but thankfully my solicitor managed to reach an out of court settlement (for a substantial amount). I still think the prosecutor frequents this forum so I'm a bit wary of saying...

I’ve told TIL the fare between SM - London has already been paid but obviously they aren’t listening. The prosecutor I have been speaking with has advised the court date will be 9th March so I’ll be receiving the papers any day now. But I’ll be pleading not guilty, hopefully that’s what the...

I’ve been speaking with him by email and on the phone. I asked if he’s the prosecutor that will be attending court and he said yes... On our call yesterday he said a settlement cannot be offered due to the nature of the case as it’s in their contract with Chiltern not to settle outside of court

I’ve been speaking with the prosecutor and he isn’t budging. I am looking at legal advice just waiting for call backs

An update: I’m going to be summonsed to court. The prosecutor has been given strict instruction to take it all the way. No chance in hell of settling outside of court due to the nature. This is such a horrible situation. I’ve got a Drs appointment to talk about my speech problems which won’t...

The prosecutor is TIL? Unless I’m being really thick (what a shock) TIL is who I’ve been corresponding with and the prosecutor works for TIL

The conversation: He said the case will be reviewed again before the summons will be issued. No settlement can be made due to TILs contract with Chiltern railways and due to the nature of the offence. He did say I can write to Chiltern which he’ll pass to them in the review. I’ll write...

The email: I have reviewed your case today and the facts are clear that there is sufficient evidence to proceed to prosecution. On the 10 November and upon arrival at London Marylebone you asked for a ticket from Amersham for your party knowing that you had travelled from Stoke Mandeville. Had...

In the email the prosecutor sent to me he included the phrase ‘slip of the tongue’ which I hadn’t referenced in my communications. In our conversation he referenced a forum which gives advice, and how sometimes the forum gives bad advice

I had a lovely chat with the prosecutor (who I’m sure has actually been following the thread...) who confirmed that a settlement will not be offered.... thank you all who have contributed with advice. There isn’t anything I can do. Will be prosecuted under the regulations and not bye laws.

Unfortunately having the help of a solicitor isn’t really in my means, the solicitors I’ve spoken to charge £650 plus VAT and family won’t be able to help out with costs. As I’ve mentioned before there really well and truly isn’t anything more I can add about why I said Amersham. I can have...

Dear Mr xxxx, I would like to express my sincere apology to Chiltern Railways for the confusion surrounding my ticket for the journey between Stoke Mandeville and London Marylebone on 10/11/19. I understand it is always the traveller’s responsibility to pay the correct fare due and to obtain a...

Again thank you all who have commented. I’m sending a reply tonight, will keep the thread updated with what’s to come...

Here is what I have drafted so far if I may have some thoughts/improvements? I've tried keeping it as short as possible: I would like to express my sincere apology to Chiltern Railways for the confusion surrounding my ticket for the journey between Stoke Mandeville and London Marylebone on...

It doesn't sound harsh at all, I need to hear it and prepare myself for literally the worst. I've mentioned why I said Amersham, it's because I was considering moving and living there at one point! I won't be able to say more about it because then it would be lying

Is it recommended that this reply best be kept short? Or can I go into detail (again)

Hey! I've been reading your post re your short fare incident and was hoping for some advice? I'm in the same boat..

Thank you all, I have taken into consideration everything that has been mentioned :-) I am definitely over thinking this and have now confused myself... This is going to sound SO stupid but as per the second letter that was sent to me, am I in trouble because we couldn't get tickets at Stoke...

Thank you for your response! It's just really bothering me that none of my friends were spoken to/had their details taken. Am I allowed to question this? Should it be the case that I'm the only one involved?
