As per usual I travel from Ealing to Paddington on TFL service , quite often before 0930 ..... according to TFL info its free with my 60+ oyster. On 24 July 0750 service I arrive at barriers and am taken to one side and given a penalty notice by a very rude inspector..., despite my protests of using TFL . he didn't even have the decency to make me aware I was being recorded!! I thought the independent appeals service would obviously see their error.... NO!! 3 Appeals .... Independent of fairness then, I now don't know what to do now.... I feel very ripped off . Pay up ?? what about tomorrow when I repeat the journey.....I am likely not the only one .......Thanks GWR
