Some times it seems it isn't worth the hassle. On the local service the guard often tells people to buy a ticket next time if they do check (local stopping suffice between picc and man airport). Probably not worth the guards time to charge 2 quid to people when stops are minutes apart. I once...

my ticket was scanned in. I can upload a copy of the letter for any non believers if anyone wants me too.

update: I went to see my personal tutor and we rung up ATW together. ATW at first refused to refund and told me to send in a letter, then my tutor spoke and the ATW manager agreed to issue a full refund in the post. I no longer have lost attendance marks. Thanks for the help guys, Andy

I need proof I was on the service, not just proof a train was delayed. A letter from ATW would prove this. How do I apply for one? do I just send off my train tickets and ask them for just a letter and no rail vouchers?

I had class 9-12 am, however arriving at gone 2 and my routine being disrupted I was unable to attend the early classes. I'm not too bothered about a monetary refund (although it would be nice) however losing a chunk of my uni grades seems really harsh.

no but if ATW acknowledge and pay out (thus admitting fault) my uni will credit my attendance based marks (in theory) however unless they do I have no proof.

It may not have been deliberate, he/she may have fallen on to the track. Also whilst I agree it was upsetting I missed 3 hours of class for it, which will lose me some marks on an attendance based class.

fair enough, I'm just pretty miffed because i spent like 55 quid to arrive in Bangor almost 3 hours late, meaning I missed class and had a taxi driver who got lost to the point another passenger got out of the taxi early and just walked home. There aren't many details on what happened that I...

could I argue the following point? surely if they had better security in place, a fatality would not occur, therefore the issue is not outside of the railway.

is there anything stopping you from having valid connection times, but booking train tickets so that you are likely to miss a connection and will qualify for virgins generous delay repay? perhaps if you know the train is often 5 minutes late, causing you to miss a long connection and therefore...

Hi guys Yesterday I was heavily delayed by ATW on a journey with my girlfriend between st helens junction and Bangor Gwynedd. I set off at 8: 48, arrived at earlestown at 8 53. I then got on the earlestown train to chester and arrived at 21 57. I boarded the ATW train that was due...

Ring them up on Monday, if they tell you nothing is due then ask for it in writing in my opinion, so you have proof if you end up with a court summons down the line!

Hypothetical if the RPI does issue the PF after the guard says not to. Surely the best option is to refuse it and go to court. A rora prosecution for defrauding to buy a ticket would fail as you intended to buy from the guard. And as you had permission to travel a byelaw would not be...

Is there a thread for hypothetical questions like this? If not there should be !

The cencencus and my opinion is he can. If the TM gives permission to travel a PF can not be issued. The TM could also presumably ask the RPI to leave the train if he had reasonable grounds to do so. Not to even get started on disability laws.

The guard told the RPI not to PF her and that he was being unreasonable as the woman was vulnerable (she had a disabled persons railcard with her which she showed to the RPI in an attempt to buy a ticket.

Is he likely to get in trouble? Considering the woman was like 80 and had more or less no clue what was going on I assume she wouldn't be able to operate a tvm

Would the guard not get in trouble forallowing ticket less travel?

I witnessed a weird incident on the mersyrail today An RPI caught an old lady without a ticket who did not realise she had to buy before boarding and said the touchscreen tvm confusing . The RPI was about to issue her a penalty fare when the guard appeared intervened. Telling the RPI he was...

I'm more after an apology, not really pursuing northern rail stm or whoever for money. If I did complain to Northern, could they not turn around and pursue me for a RORA prosecution as (technically) my ticket had a restriction code 8a even though I did not know. (I know it's still my fault)
