Hi, I'm hoping someone can help. My 16 year old daughter has just started 6th form and has moved up to Greater Manchester to live with my brother whilst she studies.
She was using the train from Manchester Picadilly to Bolton and getting half fare not realising you need a rail pass to qualify for the cheaper price. She grew up on the Isle of Wight, so is still adjusting from quiet and laid back to the busy life up there. As soon as she told me a guard had stopped her, I bought a 16-17 Saver card but obviously too late. Is there anyway to appeal the fine at all or is it just a case of learning a lesson the hard way? Any help with the letter below would be amazing. Please let me know if you need any more information. Many thanks in advance.
