In the late 80s with a few uni friends we did the London Terminals pub crawl. Can’t remember the exact route, but I know we started at the Viaduct Tavern (near Holborn Viaduct), then did Cannon Street, Fenchurch Street and Moorgate to ensure we did the city pubs before they closed - in those...

Foxton in Cambridgeshire would be another. Can sometimes be down for a few trains if they’re bunched together.

That’s a helpful clarification- you need to cover this in your response.

Your draft makes no sense. You state that you”did not undertake that journey”. But you were caught by an inspector. I think you need to be clearer - what journey did you make on the day you were stopped? What ticket did you have? And what extra ticket did you buy?

Seems reasonable. Whilst Scottish banknotes are a legal currency, they’re not Legal Tender. i suspect they’re rarely seen by many EMR ticket office staff, so there could be uncertainty as to which notes are genuine. Might cause a few problems at Corby, though. Reminds me of a time when I was...

If they’re lucky, then Friend 1 might be able to secure an out of court settlement with the train company for tickets dishonesty bought, plus an admin fee (£150-ish). If they’re unlucky, they’ll both be prosecuted for fraud - which means, repayment of fares, costs, fines imposed by court and...

Looks good to me. Wait to see what others say, and then send it to them tomorrow.

It could. But we’d then get some passengers thinking that the ticket allows travel to that destination.

You’ve got until Wednesday to reply. If you reply and cooperate there’s every chance that they will offer you an out of court settlement - that means you’ll have to pay them a sum of money, but it means it won’t go to court. Even if it does go to court, it’s very unlikely to result in the end...

As you’ve been offered a settlement you should pay it. You have no valid grounds for appeal. If you fail to pay it will go to court - you will be found guilty, and will end up paying more than £115, and have a criminal record.

Of course, if you’re travelling in the Fort William portion then stowing luggage in the guards carriage would be problematic, as that carriage ends up in Aberdeen, not Fort William.

Include dates - what was the date of your response, and what was the date of their intent to prosecute letter. Include those dates on this response, to help the person at GTR understand the sequence of events.

It’s not checked at most borders within the Schengen area, though I recall they were checking passports between Denmark and Sweden a few years ago. And last year I had a check on a train between Austria and Germany. I believe in some countries it’s a legal requirement to carry ID, although...

Definitely some use of ChatGPT / AI, especially in the first draft, as there are a few phrases that have appeared before in other threads. The second draft is much better, but I’d urge you to review and think hard about the language you’d normally use. For example, do you ever say ‘embarkation...

The interchange at Bank from Central to Northern is step-free now, thanks to the new escalators and moving walkway.

Once you’ve downloaded the timetable that you’ve purchased to the ERT app it can then be viewed offline. No internet connection necessary. I prefer the digital version so that I can zoom into pages, the font size of the printed version is a little too small for me.

It’s working ok for me. There’s been a few instances over the last few weeks where it hasn’t displayed the journey history - only displaying latest journey, but that seems to have corrected itself this weekend, with full history now possible.

You say that you want to engage truthfully with them, which is good. So if the purpose of the letter is to provide GTR with the correct information then yes, you should provide your correct DOB. Otherwise they’ll still be holding the false information that you provided them when you were...

My thoughts - maybe a bit too long and in some cases repetitive (maybe apologising too many times), but i agree with @Pushpit that you should keep the paragraph in that gives the context, because I think it is important in this case. As you are aware TfL rarely settle out of court but there is...

You shouldn’t assume that anything that you say to the Customer Services team will be passed on to the Fraud/Investigations team. They are completely unconnected. Similarly, you shouldn’t rely on anything that the Customer Services team tell you about these types of incidents - they won’t have...
