    Hi all - just an update, I received a letter from Greater Anglia saying that all available evidence had been submitted to their office to be considered for legal proceedings. Ordinarily it is their policy to prosecute in all instances of fare evasions - however on this occasion an offer of...

    Also i I think your asking whether I’m eligible for a railcard? If that’s the question then yes I’m am eligible for a 16-25railcard which I have purchased. I’ve just read the second part and you are essentially saying it would have been advisable to mention the 3 other times I had used the...

    Used my sisters expired railcard ...

    I’m not going to lie I’m still a bit confused as your argument isn’t following logically to me? I don’t know where I argued “it’s only £30” - hyperbole or not, this is not the argument or message that I was trying to get across in my letter, so how does this relate to anything. If you could...

    Also should I write “without prejudice” at the top? Apparently this prevents the courts from using it as evidence IF it was to go to court?

    Also is there any prosecutors or inspectors with any knowledge on the likely outcome of this situation? My fear is that this could also be used as evidence if taken to court so realistically is it a good idea?

    Although true, I will cut the part about the early train out. The idea behind the part you said was a contradiction is the fact that people who are making genuine mistakes are still costing these rail providers money, although there was no deliberate intent behind their actions, it still bares...

    I paid that penalty fare ASAP after speaking it as I felt it was unfair due to the fact that I had actually purchased a valid ticket. My question is, how much information can they get from the details of my ticket. It was an e-ticket on trainline that looks like the image I to attached. Can...

    Used my sisters expired railcard ...

    the form is asking for my sisters details, if I just fill out the form it would essentially just seem like she is lying as they confiscated her railcard. How do I introduce myself into the situation - do I just write at the back of the letter revealing my identity? thanks.
