Hi Western Lancer, Transport Focus just noted in the email that "After providing a copy of the tickets GWR have withdrawn the case and no further action will be taken. GWR apologised that they hadn’t requested a copy of your tickets earlier given you’d provided a clear reference number taken...

Hello All, After contacting transport focus who helped me to deal with the issue GWR have opted to withdraw the case.

Thank you all for the advice, the thread was enough to convince my father to lend me the money, so I'll be paying the fine shortly. Have a nice day.

Hi WesternLancer, Thats actualy something I asked them about when I sent them an email explaining the situation. I was advised that as I was reported for prosecution it wasn't relevant to the rest of my query. Not sure if thats particularly helpful for your question but it's the response I was...
