So I’ve just received a summons for Willesden Magistrate’s Court for an ‘alleged’ offence that took place on 16th June.
I was travelling on the train from London to Braintree Freeport my home town. Had bought a valid ticket and lost it on the journey.
I was given a fine tried to argue it with the TI and show him my bank statement proving I’d bought a ticket but there was no WIFI between stations so he said because you’re not travelling with a valid ticket I have to fine you but you can appeal the fine as you have ‘proof’.
Appealed the fine and was rejected.
What advice would you give as I’m a student and I work in a healthcare setting and cannot have a criminal record. Is there any way out of this without going to court?
Please advise.
