    At a loss with Northern Rail...

    Dude, even I smiled at that. Don't you find it a shame though that in modern day society the human element has gone out of life? It's just accepted now that you can do nothing about anything and it's your fault for even trying. Crazy, crazy world. I

    Northern Rail have prosecuted for less, so yes, it is worth the trouble.

    At a loss with Northern Rail...

    Darandio, Yep, that's pretty much it. Am I wrong in thinking that you can buy a ticket at any point in the journey as long as you buy it before you exit your destination station? Burley Park, my understanding is that there's no facilities to buy tickets and this has been confirmed by NRE. If...

    Looks that way. Thanks for all the help guys, it's been a good exercise in futility.

    Guys, Yes I had a rant, but I think that's allowed. The above is just a rant as well and yes, it was my first time and yes I've ranted because I cannot believe the way you get treated. However, all the challenges on the thread are really helpful and useful to me because it's providing me...

    Just to confirm on my plight. If I am wrong then I will pay, that is not the issue for me. It's just frustrating to know that I didn't make that journey and it appears there's nothing you can do about it.

    Thanks for getting back to me Dale. Short answers to your question: 1. I'd started my journey with a valid ticket and normally when the ticket officer comes round and you show them the ticket from the first leg they let you buy a ticket for the remainder. So, once the journey had started...

    At a loss with Northern Rail...

    Hi, I'm looking for advice because I'm currently torn on whether or not to proceed to trial or to just accept the guilty charge, pay the early court costs and get a criminal record even though I know didn't commit the offence. I will start from the beginning. One evening I travelled...
