    COnditions of Carriage no longer Apply to Northern

    Caution = admission of guilt, therefore remains on the record Arrest = police have you on suspicion of something, haven't admitted guilt, haven't been tried in a court. Only actual cautions and convictions will appear on the CRB databases, arrests shouldn't (if they're relevent they'll be...

    arrests aren't on the CRB databases (only on the local police ones), so realistically they can't actually find out.

    The americans don't have access to our database, only the international one for serious offences. Even if they did check you out simple arrests wouldn't show up, neither would non-serious convictions.

    Not able to buy returns on trains, only singles?

    They would have to be given suitable advice, otherwise it would be grounds for a mistrial! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- In which case they'd have to sell the ticket, as advised by the NRCoC or call the BTP/an RPI.

    Excessing an advance ticket

    This! I was getting a train from Bristol to Paddington, and I'd finished an hour early. When the train before the one I was reserved on arrived, I found the guard and asked nicely if I could get on that train (explaining that I'd be happy to wait if I needed to). The guard was perfectly willing...
