    ?? Penalty Fare - Slightly bizarre?

    He works at RPC - closer to Tower Hill; my error.

    ?? Penalty Fare - Slightly bizarre?

    I'm sure there will be a simple resolution. I'll ring them as soon as possible and try to sort something out. What a farce :roll: Hopefully this nonsense will be sorted out long before a court summons would ever be necessary. The fare is 3 quid or something, I offered to pay it and the ticket...

    Yes have attempted multiple times lol

    ?? Penalty Fare - Slightly bizarre?

    Yep, have done that and saved into a document. It won't let me progress beyond the amounts page - I can't change the payment details and the next button is greyed out. Have attached the requisite files

    Alternatively I could just send a cheque couldn't I?

    And what exactly does that mean for me? Lol

    ?? Penalty Fare - Slightly bizarre?

    Returning to Bristol via Victoria, I forgot to tap in at Ewell East due to being in a hurry (heavy suitcases, train due etc; not an excuse, but a reason for my oversight - for you sceptics out there, I KNEW I was travelling to barriered Victoria and realised my mistake once on the train). Once...

    Passengers detrain themselves in Bristol area (26/09)

    Got it. Will pass the information on to ensure that everyone is aware of how dangerous what happened was [I still don't think everybody gets it yet]. I hope that at least in Bristol this situation won't happen again - eventually across the country.

    Passengers detrain themselves in Bristol area (26/09)

    I just keep learning today - fair enough. I would have thought that any fire on a train would call for evacuation given the speed at which they can spread (and sparks???), but good to know. Most people don't know much about trains lol

    Passengers detrain themselves in Bristol area (26/09)

    I am now - sometimes it takes incidents like this to learn. Sometimes you've got to learn the hard way I guess - had this not happened, I wouldn't know that the strip of land adjacent to the tracks is even called cess

    Passengers detrain themselves in Bristol area (26/09)

    I'm arguing that the panic was induced by the inexperience of many of the students in dealing with overcrowded trains, but when it comes to general safety the majority know that cess is safer for people having panic attacks induced by claustrophobia than a crowded train. My point isn't meant to...

    Passengers detrain themselves in Bristol area (26/09)

    I agree, learning from this is the most important outcome, ultimately. The behaviour that resulted was the wrong behaviour for the situation, but it can be explained by reasons more significant than "drunk idiots being rebellious" or "arrogant students being disrespectful", which seems to have...

    Passengers detrain themselves in Bristol area (26/09)

    Okay fine - the students messed up and their actions did not correlate with the reality of the situation. They could have suffered to a greater extent, but I maintain that my peers are not bad people and did not act in the way that they did out of malicious intent. Mistakes were made. What if...

    Passengers detrain themselves in Bristol area (26/09)

    I accept that mistakes were made by the students, but what I don't get is the vitriol? Could someone please explain why you want everyone involved who suffered at the time to suffer further? I'm not trying to justify the incident. I'm trying to explain why certain decisions were made. If you...
