    Paid for e-ticket - phone died, penalty fare issued, first appeal unsuccessful.

    If there are issues with submitting an appeal online due to character limits, there is also the option to appeal by post.

    Advice on a penalty fare notice please!

    It's a criminal offence to join a train without a ticket at a station with working ticketing facilities, in both GWR and Northern. Failing to pay the sum due or otherwise address the matter will result in you being prosecuted and potentially obtaining a criminal record.

    Implied contract terms - ticket delivery methods

    It does not seem to me that the passenger suffered any actual loss. The ticket could have been displayed from a screenshot, from the phone's email account, in the selling company's app, or from the Files section, amongst other methods. The seller has offered to reimburse the printing cost and...

    Dangerous boarding procedures at Euston

    Euston is manic today with a signal failure in the Watford Junction area taking out swathes of trains. Sadly the gigantic information board which would be very useful for sharing information is still just showing adverts.

    Appeal for a prosecution by TIL on Chiltern Railways

    I know you love the term "abuse of process" but this absolutely is not what that means. I agree with your recommendation that the OP pay the sum requested promptly.

    Got caught touching in on exit gates for over a year

    From what I can tell, this relates to two different offences. TfL does not tend to charge the non-compulsory ticket area offence because almost all its stations have CTAs.

    Got caught touching in on exit gates for over a year

    I think we need to see all the paperwork to give proper advice. It may be that you have been charged with further offences.

    Freedom pass violation

    The court will usually entertain a plan to pay in instalments over up to twelve months. It is illegal for us to give you immigration advice. You need to see a solicitor or authorised immigration adviser.

    Payment Plans for Out of Court Settlements

    I came across a situation on Reddit where a prosecution had been commenced by SJPN and a settlement was reached before the court date. A 6 month payment plan was requested by the defendant and the court was asked to adjourn the case to 6 months later, with a view to the TOC offering no evidence...

    Irregular travel

    It is not usually possible to negotiate settlement amounts because they are “really huge”; they simply reflect the sum that ought to have been paid in the first instance. There is precedent for settlement amounts being amended downwards if they were calculated based on incorrect assumptions or...
