I find myself repeating myself here. The whole incident would not have happened if i had not been harrassed.
I am simply telling the truth. If ater the way I been treated in the morning I choose to buy a 7 day pass because I will be carrting on in my normal journey...which is Cly to Oxford Road. I only ever intedned to use the 7.55 picc service as my wife was at college that side of town. And due to the no show guard I was not wanting to risk that again. Delayed on Platform one etc trying to get a ticket. So wanted to get a monthly. My wife had a valid ticket, why would i choose not to have one?.
On walking to oxford road at lunch , I choose to get my normal 7 day pass from the machine outside. Why should I get a monthy pass???? I did not intend to use Picaddilly for what ever reason personal to me and the blatant FACT, it is not my ususal destination. I did not HAVE to buy a monthy just to prove a point to G4s did I?...I am a consumer, I have the right to change my mind at will just because I had an altercation does not mean I shoud follow through with my orginal purchase when that would not be nessasey over expense when I can freely get a 7 day pass on the 8.03 service to liverpool as pointed out earlier buy a fellow cly traveler and myself in a few of my replys.
I had scanned in 4 months of previos tickets in my correspondence with Northern all vailid with my pass number on.
This some of the replys are rather robotic with no thought to human reaction to circumstance, an ivory tower point of veiw is all well and good if you are in full knowledge of all the rules and regulations. Hence I came on here for advise offering the truth, and what I have been told buy BTP a Seargent infact.

The other thing I wondered is why there was a problem with the PIN. You get more than one attempt, so having staff make you enter it wrong doesn't mean you suddenly couldn't pay with that method, and have to seek an alternative.
And if you can claim expenses by keeping tickets, why then have all of them in the wallet? And if you have all of your old tickets, where was the railcard kept and how did it get lost?
I do always get suspicious when things don't seemingly add up. Sorry!
Please read the whole thread.Or i have to repeat it again. No i had no other means of paying, my wife had my wallet and had left the scene. The problem with pin?...I dont use the card regularly in fact hardley and was luckily in my bag(bit pointless though I though I knew it but with the situation harrassed and very upset) I failed on it.
I had my railcard....with my historical tickets in my hand...Produced to both partys...G4s and the Policeman, hence the latter confirmed in his view I was not dodging a fare and was happy to tell the g4s staff and also offered his asistance of there was any future comeback. Hence the BTP have been in full view of the facts, and have activly called me back on this . Infact they are a great bunch.
