The bottom line is this - if a criminal conviction is going to harm your future prospects then why take the risk and take actions that leave you open to criminal prosecution? Buy a correct ticket and have nothing to worry about, or fare dodge by whatever means and hope you don’t get caught. When...

Many thanks, exactly what I needed to know.

Passenger is aged 16 and will be travelling daily from Twyford Berks to Henley on Thames for college. Passenger will need to be at Henley for 9am so peak time commute and return would be around 5pm. Could the fare boffins please advise the cheapest way to do this ie with a student railcard...

Ticket would be an Advance Single, booked via The Train Line and collected from the machine at Barmouth prior to travel. Would it be possible to collect the ticket from any TVM? the passenger is going to Barmouth by car, but needs to return via train, hence the enquiry.

OK route and ticketing experts, I need some help please. Need to get a 16 year old dragging a suitcase from Barmouth to Reading, Berkshire. Usual sources are suggesting Barmouth to Wolverhampton then change to a Cross Country to Reading. This is 1 change only. Journey is quite long and there is...

Interesting how Chiltern used an example of a single ticket from Scarborough to High Wycombe. Thanks for sharing this, without question someone high up in Chiltern has seen this thread.

Care to share that document to this forum?

The sole purpose of these interviews is to get you to incriminate yourself and provide the TOC with the evidence they don’t have so they can prosecute you. Others have suggested a written response asking for information and if I was in your shoes that’s what I would send. You are not obliged to...

So, yesterday I had to take 2 children into London for A Day out. I have an Oyster card and I bought paper tickets from the TVM at Ickenham For the kids. When buying the tickets, the TVM informed me that it would be cheaper for the kids to use contactless and pay an adult fare (tickets were...

Didn’t know you could use contactless as I’m not familiar with that line. That may well be the way to go. Thanks.

2 adults need to go to London from Twyford, Berks. Ideal train out is the 09.49 to Paddington but want to come back on any train as their day out is fluid time wise. Oyster/contactless is available for use on the tube in London (2 or 3 journeys all in Zone 1 or Zones 1 and 2). Looking for...

Start by reading your contract of employment and see what that says about notification of arrest. An arrest won’t show up on a DBS check, but the Americans ask about it when entering their country. Two sets of standards. A friend of mine was arrested twice for drink driving (2 separate...

London please

TFL RPI’s uniforms are not stab proof. They may well covert stab vests but the uniforms themselves are not stab proof. Whilst working in Kabul a shade over 4 years ago, I asked if my body armour with steel plate was bullet proof. The person told me it depended on what I was being shot at with...

Both in my experience.

Chiltern have been cracking down on the massive fare evasion they suffer from in the last 9 months or so. I get ticket checked on many long distance journeys north of Banbury but not that often between Banbury and Oxford or London. I always have the correct ticket so have nothing to fear from...

Well, that is a new approach. If you don’t attend an interview where we will try to get you to incriminate yourself, you will go to court. If you do attend such an interview we may take you to court anyway based on the info we squeeze out of you. Chiltern obviously think they have something on...

Much cheaper to use PAYG from Ickenham or West Ruislip, really don’t want to go all the way to Iver to then go into Paddington, going the wrong way. Think I will be stuck with paper tickets for the children.

Never heard of one of those, got a link to prices and hours of validity please?

So, am taking 2 children and their Mum for a day out in London next month. Will be travelling on a weekday, starting about 2pm at either West Ruislip or Ickenham with the first journey to Liverpool Street or that area, second journey will be from Tower Hill back to the starting point, possibly...
