    Dangerous boarding procedures at Euston

    Euston is manic today with a signal failure in the Watford Junction area taking out swathes of trains. Sadly the gigantic information board which would be very useful for sharing information is still just showing adverts.

    Appeal for a prosecution by TIL on Chiltern Railways

    I know you love the term "abuse of process" but this absolutely is not what that means. I agree with your recommendation that the OP pay the sum requested promptly.

    Man arrested at Liverpool Central over ticket row won't face prosecution

    I believe Merseyrail enforce feet on seats etc. under a part of byelaw 6 no person shall soil any part of the railway, no person shall behave in a disorderly, indecent, or offensive manner on the railway, no person shall damage any part of the railway etc

    Got caught touching in on exit gates for over a year

    From what I can tell, this relates to two different offences. TfL does not tend to charge the non-compulsory ticket area offence because almost all its stations have CTAs.

    Got caught touching in on exit gates for over a year

    I think we need to see all the paperwork to give proper advice. It may be that you have been charged with further offences.

    Freedom pass violation

    The court will usually entertain a plan to pay in instalments over up to twelve months. It is illegal for us to give you immigration advice. You need to see a solicitor or authorised immigration adviser.

    Payment Plans for Out of Court Settlements

    I came across a situation on Reddit where a prosecution had been commenced by SJPN and a settlement was reached before the court date. A 6 month payment plan was requested by the defendant and the court was asked to adjourn the case to 6 months later, with a view to the TOC offering no evidence...

    Postal requisition for using zip11-15 Oyster card

    I've pointed out multiple times that the OP has received a postal requisition, which is not a Single Justice Procedure Notice, and because the court is being asked to take into consideration some other events, it cannot be handled by post and the OP must appear in person. It's getting...

    End of the line for Paris’ iconic metro ticket

    They are unchanged. You can still get single paper tickets, 10 for the price of 8, half fare for child 4-9 etc. And remember RER tickets are valid in either direction, so a ticket from La Plaine Stade de France to Antony (say) is alternatively valid from Antony to La Plaine Stade de France.

    Man arrested at Liverpool Central over ticket row won't face prosecution

    *Disney World :p No. Even if it were somehow in the public interest to do so. And a prosecution commenced against someone who dies whilst the charge is pending will be dropped.

    Barriers detect time on tickets

    Ticket barriers can in principle be set to prevent the use of tickets at a time they are not valid, yes. The implementation of this varies widely.
