I have had an incident with Chiltern where I didn't realise my railcard had expired.

The event happened in November and the NIP came through in February stating they had found I had previously used the railcard for other journeys as well as the one where they stopped me.

I replied with an apology as this forum suggested and also listed out the occasions where I think i had used the train with the expired railcard (I think it was 5 with the max fare being around £10), saying I was more than happy to settle and pay these fares/any fines.

I have now heard nothing back since the letter in February.

My question is it seems like the prosecution deadline has passed, but as there were previous offences - is this still the case? Or could they still prosecute me?

What date in November?

The previous offences make no difference. You can only be prosecuted if the matter has already been raised with the court - in this case there is a chance it could still happen but if the offence was early November it's unlikely that you would not have heard about a court case by now.
