Sorry if this sounds harsh, but the tone of this doesn't really cut it. IMHO, you need to focus on an attempt to peruade the TOC to forgo criminal proceedings and allow an out of court settlement. No one is expecting a Pulitzer Prize winning missive, but a structured and careful letter will be...

Thanks for the update. Of course you are aware that GTR have several more months in which to proceed and that a 'delay' may be the result of time needed to obtain and analyse your travel and ticket purchase history.

Emirates BOM-DXB-LGW Economy. Both legs in A380s 3 class layout. Aircraft on both legs clean and well maintained. Decent seats, entertainment a bit meh. Very slow meal service BOM-DXB, they needn't have bothered, food was the worst l have ever experienced aboard Emirates. DXB-LGW Much better...

I can understand the OP's displeasure at being sanctioned for what appears to be a minor breach. However, the alternative is court proceedings and an almost inevitable criminal conviction. The old adage, "don't shoot the messenger," appears to apply here. Those who advise on these pages do so...

I travelled in one of these sets, immediately pre covid, between Padang Besar on the Malaysia border and Hat Yai. (Sunday service). I used to work 158s in the UK, so the journey was a slightly surreal experience. I did manage a chat with the crew though, who seemed happy enough with their...

I was a frequent flyer with BA some years ago and only ever used their long haul services, mostly to South Africa. Back then, the service was acceptable and the crews courteous and professional. The decline in standards since, means that l now only use BA when there is no alternative. On my 4x...

A set of 100 ml travel bottles may be an idea.

Let's just say that it may be inappropriate

It would have been nice to see the Goblin Line recieve official status, but perhaps it would be politically incorrect

With regard to the alleged parking offence, LNER does have an appeals process. If this is unsuccessful, there is a provision to escalate the matter to an independent ombudsman. Google is your friend here for further info

Please consider starting your own thread.if you need help There is a super knowledgable team of members who are keen to assist, but no two cases are ever the same. When doing so, please give as much info as possible. Thanks

A criminal conviction is a handicap. It can have an effect on employment prospects and can make entry to places like Australua and NZ more complicated. Generally, discliosing a one off eases things, but the onus is on the convicted to fess up in advance N

You should also be prepared to stump up the outstanding amount immediately, if and when you obtain settlement. You may not like it, but you have committed a criminal offence, albeit a minor one. It's difficult to predict how much a settlement would cost, but factor in at least £100 for the...

At the risk of veering off topic, the ETIAS scheme, which should go live in October 24, will include questions on criminal history. This doesn't necessarily mean a ban on travel to Schengen countries, but will almost certainly involve further interaction with relevant authorities.

Hello and welcome. Could you please explain with a little more detail, what happened and where you were,. Was this a rail/Underground incident, or bus? Were you given any paperwork by the inspector? There are lots of experts here who will do their best to help. The more info they have, the...

With respect, you may want to run that draft through a spell check. I think your letter shows that your sibling owns his actions and is showing remorse. Perhaps a little fine tuning style wise would help too, but there are experts who will be pleased to assist with that. Good luck

True re India. The system is complex and the variety of trains and classes mindboggling. As just one example, the city of Bengalaru has a Central station, but also another major hub at Yesvantpur just out of the main downtown area. Best advice is to research, use the Seat 61 site and note...

Very true, but the number of trains affected during an operating day is not usually so great

Anyone out and about on the Indian rails this week should be aware that unusually harsh conditions in the north are causing severe delays. Trains originating in that region and heading south are also affected. Last night saw a 13 hour delay at Madgaon Goa, on Delhi - Kerala service

I think that the general premise on sites like this is that the OP is giving an open and honest account of their problem. However, many commentators work within the industry, or are otherwise experts and have spotted potential issues. Is it unreasonable though, to suggest that these may have...
