Report for prosecution- south western railway

[mrkr]

Just want to mention that you say you have a new TrainLine account. Is it also a new bank account you are using?
If it is the same bank details TrainLine will link all accounts to that bank account. If they ask for your past history they will get the older ones too.
Just a warning they can link accounts.

I have no idea about that to be honest no clue

I’m sure they won’t take me if im honest and open right ?

They will take a decision on on whether to prosecute based on their evidence they have which includes what happened on this occasion and any evidence they can find from previous ticket buying etc if they look, which SWR usually seem to do. There is no hard and fast rule either way.

But from what we see on here being honest with them and convincing them that from now on you will always buy the correct fare, increases the chances that they will not prosecute you.

That's all it's really possible for us to say

Beyond that you can have a read of their policy to give you an idea of what they say they will do:

I’ve bought child tickets but they weren’t for me I was caught at the top walking out- also will they see that tfl tried to take me to court before but they didn’t prosecute me. I don’t know what to tell them I didn’t have a ticket I walked up and saw revenue so I quickly purchased a ticket on spot

This is the killer to your story - why didn't you buy during the journey? (Which would still have been an offence but would have shown intent to pay a fare)

Which is not what you said before. You said before that you bought the ticket after you saw the revenue team staff. Ie it looks like you had no intention of paying until you saw them. Or it looks that way to them.

I think the OP needs to seriously consider whether law is the profession for them. Their attitude towards being honest, both in terms of the serial offences committed, and then even when engaging with the forum, appears completely contrary with the basic standard of integrity which is required by someone pursuing a legal career.

I am afraid that I am very much of the same opinion. This is both for the general good and for their own interests.
