Quick update - all sorted now. Got out of court settlement letter form TOC and made payment today. This is one of the life lesson I leaned. Can say - TOCs can make out who is fare dodging and who has got caught up in genuine mistake. Mine was a genuine mistake and they acknowledged that and...

Hi - Have not received the letter yet, but trying to keep my response ready. Here is what I am planning to write, appreciate your comments on this. -------------- 1st Para: My sincere apologies for using ticket and promise to user correct cards in future 2nd & 3rd para: Situation which led...

Thanks for this info. Have never gone into details of this ticketing system and now getting bits of it. Not sure if their mistake can help me in any way. I don't want to raise a finger but just want them to understand my mistake of considering season ticket same as oyster ticket. Not sure how...

Oh that is good news then if they can track that my card was checked before at same place and was told all is good, I can remember date as well when it was last checked at same place and was told it is fine. But one mistake I did there as well and that is, I was upset and I told him 10-12 times...

twice it was checked at station (on platform bridge) where my last check failed and once or twice in train and once at Station B exit.

They used handheld device to check my ticket. By multiple times I mean my ticket was checked multiple times during this 4-5 month period. I don't mean multiple times in one check.

Thank you so much najaB.

Thanks najaB will do as suggested because that is the only way. Another concern which I have is - during interview I have told RPI that my ticket was checked multiple time, he asked how many times and I might has said not sure might be 10-12 times but was never alerted. I said 10-12 times as I...

Yes furlong it was SouthWest Railways.

Thanks MikeWH for your help. They have checked it multiple times for sure but unfortunately I can remember exact date for one check only as on that day I had to meet a friend at Clapham Junction station in evening, hence was able to find the date. Other times when I was checked unfortunately can...

Unfortunately for 4-5 months (can find exact dates as well). But to be honest, was I not stopped, I would have continued as I of impression that it is correct ticket. That is what is told RPi as well. Getting worried Clip. Not sure what is way out. Above is answer for "How Long, Has This Been...

Yes I have not touched in from B which I was stopped. But that is what I was doing from last 4-5 months and multiple time my ticket was checked and no alert was raised. This is what led to me using this wrong ticket for such a long time. If I was alerted at first instance (can't remember exactly...

Oh so that is another blunder of mine. While I was using season ticket I was just coming from A to B via clapham and did same thing with Oyster card A to B via clapham and never put a foot down on station on zone 2 and 3 (except Clapham). But now I know that was not correct. Not sure how it will...

It is saying season at the bottom right corner that means it is between two named stations as both A and B are mentioned in it.

I travel from A to B in morning at 8am and come back from B to A at 6:45pm. This is my fixed travel pattern. That i why I was expecting to have been alerted on my first check. There was nothing different I did on the day I was told my ticket is not valid.

Thanks Nick66. Yes but what is worrying is how they did not pick it up during past 4-5 months as my card was checked multiple times. That is a scary thing. Because when your ticket is checked by authorized person and you are told it is fine, then you really don't check before renewing the...

It was £10 and few pennies.

Many thanks Furlong for your reply. I now understand what has happened. The bit which I struggle to understand is - in past 4-5 months they checked my card 3-4 times when I was coming back from station B (without touching) at Clapham Junction and no alert was raised. This again added to my...

Hi All, I have unfortunately messed up myself with SWT and need help and apologies for long post. At the outset I acknowledge that I have done a blunder knowingly or unknowingly (as that does not matter) and now am paying for that. Below are my details. Since June 2017 and till June...
