    Silly mistake-potential SWT prosecution

    I have been able to purchase a tic on route from Twickenham-Egham once with no problems. This was in the afternoon though - do timings matter? If it is an offence to board the train without a ticket, how come it is ok to ask to buy a ticket on board? I must say I am finding these rules quite...

I'm assuming that this was during the cautioning process when the inspector called through to someone to ask if I...

    Thanks for your reply. I will wait for the letter and see what happens. Will I still be asked for my version of events even though the inspector carried out a set of interview questions at the time? He also asked for my height and build etc-any idea why? Is this for his personal reference...

    Hi All, hoping for some advice on a recent incident. On monday, I was stopped at Egham st for not having a ticket. I was travelling from Strawberry Hill (no tic barriers) and honestly admitted that I had not bought a ticket as I was in a rush that morning so I jumped on my scheduled 7.44...
