I have been stopped two and half months ago for travelling without a valid railcard, interviewd under cautions and warned that I'd have received a letter from the TOC in the following 3-4 weeks. This has not arrived (yet), but I'm planning to move to a different address in approx 2 months. Assuming I don't hear from them in the next few weeks, Should I contact the TOC and see where the situation is or just let it go, hoping they have dropped (for whatever reason) the case? Thanks

Just general good advice, you should redirect your mail for the next 12 months anyway.

You could also write to the TOC and tell them of your new address - by recorded delivery if you want.

Then they will not be able to claim that you did not tell them of the address change.

But re-directing your mail is a good idea in any case.

All the suggestions that have been given so far are spot-on of course, re-direct your mail and notify the TOC of your change of address a.s.a.p.

If I can just address your last comment, there will be many people who will say 'hope nothing happens before you move and leave it be', but the danger in that is that if you didn't receive correspondence and therefore didn't answer, you might find that the TOC successfully prosecute in your absence.

If that happened then you'd have all the inconvenience of having to go through the process to get it re-opened.

It's a matter for you really, if you don't do anything it maybe that the TOC have either dropped it, or possibly even lost the report, but it is equally likely that they have a very busy prosecution office and haven't got around to dealing with it yet.
