    Incorrect ticket for train - Issued Report for prosecution.

    Could be a couple of weeks. Or maybe a couple of months. Really depends on how busy they are just now. Please feel free to upload a copy of the letter on here, as and when received. Please be sure to obscure or otherwise cover up your name and address and the case reference number (if any)...

    Incorrect ticket for train - Issued Report for prosecution.

    You really don't want to end up with a fine. That'll mean you've been taken to court and found guilty and as well as the fine you'll also have a conviction against your name. Only courts can issue fines. In your circumstances, you'll be looking for the train company to offer you an "out of...

    Previous MP left Parliament under something of a cloud. Replacement (= Chris Webb) has only just been elected.

    Incorrect ticket for train - Issued Report for prosecution.

    @NewTrainUser. Welcome to the forum. Yes, you could well be prosecuted. However, there's a reasonable chance you'll be able to negotiate a so called "out of court settlement" with SWR to avoid the case being taken to court, where, from what you've told us, you'd likely be found guilty and end up...

    Connected Trains

    @brist40. Welcome to the forum. What type of ticket have you got? Anytime? Off Peak? Advance Single? Route ✠AP LONDN READING or Route✠Any Permitted or different?

    Mentioned upthread by @prod_pep in post #87. Noted your comments, Seaford does seem a sleepy little place!

    Polesworth

    What "facilities" does Polesworth station currently boast, if any? Only ever whizzed through the location on a non-stop train (as indeed, most are), blink & you've missed it!

    Paddington to Plymouth in 2.5 hours?

    What's the current fastest journey time? = ~Three hours?

    Football

    Yes, he was their owner/chairman for a period in the mid/late 1990s and even team manager for a time in 1997-98 before then "sacking himself". Brooks Mileson twice attempted to buy out his shareholding in the years immediately thereafter, but no deal was ever agreed. Knighton ceded control of...

    Possibly not. It's next to Windermere rather than the coast (which is, I reckon, several miles away) isn't it? Might be an argument for Margate being used as a terminus station for some services, but the other two, no.

    Outwood - Liverpool South Parkway - help!

    Could be tricky. As @mangyiscute has just mentioned, there's engineering works scheduled on the Manchester Piccadilly -> Leeds route via Huddersfield/Dewsbury. Changing at Warrington Central in order to schlep over to Warrington Bank Quay for the Chester -> Leeds train via Manchester...

    Good shout, but is Porthmadog Harbour in England? :S

    Maybe because it's in Wales? Just saying! ;)
