You are basically claiming to be the world’s unluckiest person, having short fared twice and been caught both times. Extremely unlikely. Would the Hitchin to Stevenage tickets - another one stop journey - be on the same day as your Welwyn North to Welwyn GC ones?

Thank you for the clarificationA court fine will not be as high as £1k no. It’s also related to your income.
As I explained the railway will not fine you. They want the money you have evaded paying. Plus c£150 for the nuisance you are causing them. When they get fed up of your nuisance they will take you to court I expect.

Thank youI think you need to be clearer about the offence. I would say
I was travelling from Hitchen to Welwyn Garden City. However I had only bought a ticket from Hitchen to Stevenage and another from Welwyn North to Welwyn Garden City where I was stopped.
Whilst the rest of the letter is a little over the top, in general terms its fine.

I am writing to you with the utmost respect and sincerity regarding the letter I received from Govia Thameslink Railway dated 11 June 2025, reference : XXX . I was stopped at Welwyn Garden City on 10 March 2025 . I am aware honesty is highly valued by the railway and I will be truthful. I purchased only a ticket to Stevenage from Hitchin before purchasing a ticket at Welwyn North to get to college at Welwyn Garden City due to insufficient funds. I deeply regret my failure to purchase a ticket valid for the whole journey before boarding one of your trains and also sincerely apologise for the losses I caused to the railway.I was travelling from Hitchen to Welwyn Garden City. However I had only bought a ticket from Hitchen to Stevenage and another from Welwyn North to Welwyn Garden City where I was stopped.
I wish to apologize in the sincerest and deepest manner possible for my actions that day, I have the hope that I could settle this outside of the court, willing to cover fare, administrative costs and any additional reparation. I have learned what is right and wrong with the railway laws in this incident and the severity of my actions, since then I've been purchasing tickets in the proper way;this would mean a great deal for my future.
Once more, I would like to say that I am deeply sorry fo
