    Not having a valid ticket upon my person...and yet I did.

    Thank goodness for that then.

    Not having a valid ticket upon my person...and yet I did.

    Well I know you think I'm making things up. That's well and truly been established.

    Not having a valid ticket upon my person...and yet I did.

    I'm not sure if anyone here has studied anything to do with stress, memory, or cognitive function, but if you have then please speak up. My friend has since informed me that during the time I was unconscious and they were discussing with him where my ticket was that they looked through my...

    Not having a valid ticket upon my person...and yet I did.

    What I find fascinating about the 'two issues being separate' argument is that they occurred in succession by the same people. It was the staff's demeanor and behaviour towards the both of us. The only difference being that I reacted to the stress differently, and as you may be aware, being...

    Not having a valid ticket upon my person...and yet I did.

    Well hopefully that is true then.

    Not having a valid ticket upon my person...and yet I did.

    Yes, I'm familiar with that phrase. I meant with respect to their assumption I would use the ticket I had on that day within the next 3 weeks.

    Not having a valid ticket upon my person...and yet I did.

    It has been paid for because upon making an official complaint about the treatment my friend and I received, they said it had to be paid for before you are able to appeal against it. Someone has since said this is not accurate. In the simplest form: the PF was issued correctly. It's the...

    A barrier? Or which barriers? I cannot recall if the barriers were up at Paddington.

    Not having a valid ticket upon my person...and yet I did.

    To be honest, I have severe reservations about sending any of the originals to them. I don't trust them now. They're more than welcome to identify if it has been used in my presence though. Or do they have to be sent away for this to be verified? Oh, and if someone has any experience as to...

    Not having a valid ticket upon my person...and yet I did.

    No. Because from the word go we were accused. Even my friend's valid ticket was not valid until he insisted it was. It's interesting because upon displaying a ticket a few weeks the inspector at first said it was not valid until I showed him that it was by pointing out the date. --- old post...

    Not having a valid ticket upon my person...and yet I did.

    The story has not changed - I have been under the impression that the way they treat you is not relevant. I have conversed with my friend. There were 4/5 people by the end of it all at excess fares standing over me telling me this, and telling me that. Perhaps it is not quite clear to you how...

    Not having a valid ticket upon my person...and yet I did.

    Surely then they will be able to see that this ticket in my possession has never been used, despite the 4 week standing? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Part of the reason this whole fiasco ensued is because my friend and I were woken up on the train and accused of having...

    Not having a valid ticket upon my person...and yet I did.

    Furthermore, would they not have punched/written on the ticket if this had been the case?

    Not having a valid ticket upon my person...and yet I did.

    Even with the ticket receipt that is linked to my debit card?

    Not having a valid ticket upon my person...and yet I did.

    STD off-peak return, issued 25th of February, printed at 22:30, valid until 24th of March. I traveled after 23:00 to London Paddington and got back to Reading around 6am.

    Not having a valid ticket upon my person...and yet I did.

    It was the return portion of the tickets I bought at Reading train station - '2 part return' and the receipt from the ticket machine, as I paid by card. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- It was the return portion of the tickets I bought at Reading train station - '2 part return'...

    Not having a valid ticket upon my person...and yet I did.

    Hello, I was wondering if you could help me out... On Saturday morning I was returning home from a night out in London. I was caught for supposedly not having a valid ticket upon on my person but I knew that I had bought one. They tried to issue me with a penalty fare but I refused. To begin...
