Having worked 170s previously, this did occasionally happen. The units originally released the doors as soon as Guard pressed the 2 release buttons together. To mitigate against wrong side door release they then installed a 2 second timer, so you had to keep door release buttons pressed for a...

The letter was attached later. Originally all we knew was the OP was dealing with XC who wouldn't discuss the matter with him, so I suggested "trying" TIL as that may have been more fruitful.

Try contact details on this page, they look after prosecutions on behalf of XC. https://transportinvestigations.co.uk/contact

Seems as though he did tell you what they needed them for.

There was some chaos at Euston last night, that could possibly have triggered the question.

What did you tell them your age was? If you said 15, then 2007 makes it possible for you to be 15.

Happens here more often than you'd think. I know from personal experience (a few years ago now) having reported atleast 3 separate passengers who have come here and told a very different story/conversation to what actually happened onboard. I think it's partly to come across as being more honest...

Your posts read as though you 'don't' want them to be able to find out what time you bought the ticket. If that is the case, be careful how you reply to any letter they send you as you don't want to be caught lying to them as its likely to make matters worse for you.

CCTV would show you went to ticket office, it wouldn't show what ticket you showed them. Not saying it was, but it could've been the original 18:18 ticket that you may still have had in your app/email.

Reading your post, it seems a little contradictory. If you knew your railcard had expired, and you didn't mean to use the discount, then why did you present the expired railcard to the inspector? Surely, when asked for a railcard by the inspector your reaction should've been along the lines...

But the post I quoted specifically suggested this would be a simple system NOT connected to signalling etc.

It's a great idea in theory, but wouldn't work. You could be on Slow line with a line speed of 50mph, next to Fast line with a linespeed of 110mph. Sat Nav thinks you're a few metres to the left of current position and tells you to do 100mph instead of 50. You then have differential speeds on...

Unless of course the OP initially gave a false DOB to try and convince the RPI they were a child, then corrected only after being further questioned by the RPI.

Apparently the OP was £1 short. Another passenger gave them a £1. The TM then stole this £1 and walked off, leaving the passenger a £1 short of the fare again.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-62501688 An Indian man has won a case related to an overpriced railway ticket after almost 22 years. Tungnath Chaturvedi, a lawyer, was charged 20 rupees ($0.25; £0.21) extra for two tickets he had bought in 1999. The incident occurred at Mathura...

It can be done once control/signaller etc agree. Some sort of barrier needs to be in place, for us its red & white tape in the emergency cupboard, run a couple of lengths across in front of doors horizontally, find someone responsible like off duty rail staff or police and they are to act as a...

As a driver, I'd like more equality and fairness and have my pay matched with an MPs please. As neither MP, nor us thick drivers need any formal qualification or previous relevant experience.

As we're all expected to make sacrifices to make the railways more financially sustainable, how about getting rid of the overly generous Delay Repay scheme. That should save a fair amount + the admin costs involved.

Be careful slagging your employer off in public, doesn't usually end well.

If the other journeys were after you got questioned in the morning then I don't think it's going to mean much as its no surprise someone would pay for travel 'after' being detected. What may 'look' better is if you can show you've been making the same journeys on previous days /weeks and all...
