    Threatened with court

    Ooh no, you're getting the wrong end of the stick! I'm eighteen, but someone asked why buy a discounted ticket if I knew I wasnt eligible for the discount - I say, no point getting a child (would get found out easily.. look incredibly old), and no point trying to jump over the barriers/fences so...

    Threatened with court

    The reason I buy discounted tickets is because there is no point buying a child - the gates are usually set to not open and I look very old for my age - usually pass for 20+, let alone 15. Plus, I don't want to be jumping over fences and running through bushes. The ticket doesn't make a sound...

    Threatened with court

    Hi guys Just posting here for some advice. Before I continue; I'll be honest and make it clear - I did fare evade, but any knowledge on the matter or advice would be very grateful. About 6 months ago I was caught on a c2c train with a ticket with a YP Railcard discount. I was fined £20...
