    TPE and ATW acting incorrectly: incompetence or are they lying?

    My actual post was meant to be asking is there a theme of this sort of thing happening. Not actually wanting answers to my actual journeys. I will amend to suit. I am not sure why I should need to post my exact claim and in any case I cannot for any with TPE as there is no record I have access...

    TPE and ATW acting incorrectly: incompetence or are they lying?

    I am not going to post them as actually both are sorted out so it is unnecessary, it was just a comment. I can't find the initial correspondence for TPE as it was all via their portal which appears to produce no record of what you actually said. However, it does let you look at which train you...

    TPE and ATW acting incorrectly: incompetence or are they lying?

    This thread was set up to ask if getting reasonable claims denied was a regular thing. Both examples below have been rectified. I do not have access to the original claims (TPE don't provide one) and I did not fill out the ATW one. So due to the May Timetable change I am now significantly more...

    Olympian Louis Smith alleges discriminatory VTEC ticket check

    Indeed hence my, if it is as told by Louis Smith comment on the end. That was one piece of information clearly missing. Id be surprised if only two got in that carriage at Peterborough. Always seen healthy loadings on that section in First Class.

    Olympian Louis Smith alleges discriminatory VTEC ticket check

    If you read the article it appeared the 1st class host was dishing out the complimentary tea and coffee. He went down the whole carriage only asked the two black people in the carriage for their tickets to prove they should be in first class and did not ask anyone else. This was confronted by...

    Made a big mistake!! What will be the outcome?

    Well i would explain why you didn't buy a ticket. Don't overstate it though and sound like it is an excuse, just say it don't over do it. Then the bit that is key is explaining that they had guided other people to an alternative window and you followed. As it your first time i would imagine...

    Failure to produce a valid ticket

    Have you ever had low blood sugar??? I can't imagine you have as you must know what it is like if you have. That is like me saying having a baby doesn't hurt.... Having low blood sugar causes your normal functions to struggle quite considerably, and once realised it is important you get them...

    Refunds for overcrowding?

    Next people will be claiming back petrol during congestion.... (Petrol picked due to being the main day to day expense in motorvehicle operation) If you have a reserved seat then that is different.

    Fare evasion - G4S pass accepted then rejected by Northern

    I have a pass for a heritage railway that is sometimes allowed and sometimes not, I have always purchased a ticket to avoid this kind of situation as I imagine officially they shouldn't accept your G4S pass but some may do as G4S do work for Northern. By explaining your side of the story they...

    Court summons

    Trains run so regularly from Sheffield to Meadowhall i would always get a ticket. They are upping their ticket checks out of Sheffield at the moment, it seems so anyway.

    Fare evasion. The second time... :(

    Well if they only want £200* and you offer them £1200 they will accept it and you will be £1000 worse off. If you have true regret (i am not suggesting you don't) and want to pay all this then when they reply say £350* you give £850 to a charity and ask them which one after you have paid their...

    Awaiting Prosecution Unit Letter from Northern Rail

    Unfortunately it is your responsibility to stop him to ask for a ticket. However i do sympathise with you some conductors walk straight past me while i am getting my wallet out, walk past so fast you don't get chance to say anything.

    Fare Evasion, Received Fixed Penalty Notice, in a Different Name?

    I would pay and let that be the end of the matter, no court, nothing just pay it up its over with and don't make the mistake again. HOWEVER, i am concerned that people protecting the platforms at Blackburn waved many of you through saying pay on the train, if conductor did not get to you then...

    BestWestern and Flamingo Find it hard reading your posts without feeling incredibly dissapointed with how society has got. I completely agree with your reasons for not doing this, but i wish that thhose reasons did not exist.

    letter from East Midlands Trains Prosecution Department

    Welcome to the forum. Do not offer to pay costs, explain the situation and say that, as you were on the day of the incident, you are prepared to pay the fare. You have done nothing wrong and do not be afraid of anything. Not sure whether mentioned recently settled here may seem as an excuse...

    Fare evasion accusation (Sheffield - Wakefield)

    I am going to presume XC as the Northern Express services (he refers to catching an express) go to kirkgate where i have never seen a member of staff. Whereas i have at westgate where the XC trains go to. Also, much more likely that conductor wouldnt come through on a XC train. Northern it is...

    Why should someone be made to miss a connection from a late running train because the conductor could/did not come down the train?
