Welcome to the forum!
Please obscure your name (and any other personal details).
As things stand, this letter now means you are being "taken to court" for not paying your fare. As well as the amounts mentioned, you will be fined by the court. This tends to happen when GTR haven't received a reply to their original letter, as they are usually prepared to offer an out-of-court settlement to people who engage with them.
If possible please upload a copy of the reply you sent to the original letter, and the original letter itself. If there is a chance that they didn't receive your reply, it would be worth contacting them as they may still be prepared to settle and withdraw the charge.
It would also help if you explained what happened, and what the "GTR letter" mentioned was.

Thank you i have now removed it.
Was there also included a sheet printed in RED ink? If so, please attach a picture of that page.
If not, get back in touch with GTR and chase them to make sure they received and read your original response. (And make sure you understand what all the pages they sent are for. Sometimes one of the sheets, often in red, says "But we don't want to do all this - just pay us some money and the problem will be resolved".)

Welcome to the forum!
Please can you post all of the paperwork you received with the Single Justice Procedure notice - in the first attachment in the first post it looks as though there are at least three sheets of paper and it's likely there's something of both sides of the paper. It is very important that we see everything as that will help us to give you the best advice.
Do cover up any personal details or case reference numbers before uploading.

Thanks. Your letter may have confused them, but I don't see that it would have been rejected out of hand.
I suggest you contact GTR and ask whether they received your letter quoting the case reference. Sorry, don't have their contact details to hand.
The email is:-
Note that I would keep the content to asking whether they have received your letter of (date), and enclose a copy of it, as you have now received a single justice notice. I wouldn't repeat what it says in there - as you can see if it looks too much like an appeal it is likely to be deleted.
