    TfL Verification Letter

    That doesn't apply to Freedom Passes. TfL can look back a very long time - they own the data; take a browse through the rogues' gallery of Freedom Pass thieves on the forum to see how many had 100,200,300+ offences detected over a year or more.

    URGENT PLEASE HELP - ‘Multiuse Irregularity’ from Greater Anglia

    Trainline strikes again. Don't use them, they have been cuckolded by the train companies into being little coppers' narks every time some tiny indiscretion is noticed. Dreadful company.

    DBS- conviction that couldn’t be me

    You live in a very unserious country when you can just magically accrue a criminal record like stepping on a Lego. The fun part is, that conviction was probably done unlawfully anyway via the Single Justice Procedure. The train company enjoys the right to prosecute you privately even if they...

    TfL Verification Letter

    A Freedom Pass journey history can be kept for at least a year and probably more, as we've seen many times here.

    Short fare - TFL Nominee

    They just searched the electoral roll, or did a soft credit search. They aren’t likely to know about your nominee pass and it would make no difference if they did if you weren’t misusing it.

    Possible scam

    The is why you should never respond substantively to these emails if you haven’t been stopped. “I was not stopped on the date you mention and trust I will not hear further from you” would have been quite enough. Now you have ended up incriminating yourself.

    TfL Verification Letter

    Did they have a list of all the suspected misuse to hand?

    TfL Verification Letter

    Where were you caught? Were the revenue staff looking for you in particular, and lying in wait, or were you caught by chance? (If the former, they'd confront you with a list of all the misuse) Don't use AI to write a letter explaining your mitigating circumstances. Depends on the answer to the...

    Caught using expired railcard for almost 2 years? What’s going to happen (I don’t live in the UK anymore)

    They will have your address from your ticket purchasing account - it’ll be whatever you put on there, or your card billing address.

    NT - duplicate Delay Repay Claims with another passenger enquiry

    To cut a long story short you committed an entry-level and unsophisticated fraud and were easily caught. And you’ve admitted to more than what they allege too. This is an open and shut, clear case of fraud, done by someone who hasn’t a clue as well. Pay the money and stop doing fraud.

    Penalty Fare - Purchased after Departure

    What does the time stamp on the penalty fare refer to? The minute it was begun to be completed, or when it was finalised and printed?

    The Labour Party under Keir Starmer

    “Death to the IDF” means literal death, not “I hope they go away and are reformed like the RUC were in Northern Ireland”. It’s silly to pretend otherwise. The real issue is whether you can call for the death of soldiers - that is, legitimate military targets - who are engaged in murder and...

    Delay Repay question

    You claim for the delay at the final destination. If you aren’t over the threshold you have no claim.

    Travel without valid railcard

    They don’t need to prove anything; they either prosecute you for the one offence where they caught you red handed or you settle for that occasion and all the others.

    Delay Repay - Leeds to Glasgow Central

    The ingrained incompetence of delay repay validation now is a scandal. Waste as much of their time as possible.

    What is your point, in plain English?

    High fares - The issue that won't go away

    In a world of unlimited capacity, perhaps, but that isn't the world we operate in. A lot of infrequent (that is - non-captive, discretionary) passengers are extremely sensitive to complexity, perceived or otherwise, and to the threat of crowding, inconvenience and dread risk of "having the wrong...

    The Labour Party under Keir Starmer

    He was allowed to be broadcast, but his voice had to be dubbed to comply with the law, hence the Day Today satire. Here, Adams is dubbed by what is hilariously called an "interpreter"
