    I was only aware of Scotrail, not having a penalty fare scheme, until the last week or so. All of my rail journeys in Scotland have been prebooked, except two.

    Ticket Checks

    On every journey, that I have traveled solely in Scotland, the staff at stations and on the trains have been excellent, Informative. It was a bit of a nightmare getting to ladybank (cant remember which station that time, I presume as the return was from there) between Christmas and New year...

    Prosecution for alleged alteration of date on carnet ticket

    to be fair, it is the first question that I have asked on this thread. Also all most of my posts were included in one post, automatically. I presume from the thread that a carnet ticket is one where you fill the date of travel in yourself, so only asking to confirm. Though whatever answer was...

    forgot to activate mobile ticket- encountered revenue protection inspectors

    The frontline staff should not be put in the position in the first instance. I have seen on a local bus recently, usb ports every other seat, should trains have these if they are doing this kind of ticket?

    Prosecution for alleged alteration of date on carnet ticket

    The only reason I see the sol of any use is to negotiate a settlement outside of the court. If it goes into a hearing and you are found not guilty, your costs should be awarded to you. I do think that they would only pay out at the legal aid rate from central court funds, which may not cover you...

    Prosecution for alleged alteration of date on carnet ticket

    It would depend on whether the op is pleading guilty or not guilty. Though he should receive the application to court and the evidence used along with the summons. If pleading not guilty, it would go to second hearing, at the first hearing you would (or should) agree witness and other evidence...
