Got a fine for not having a valid ticket, I had given boss my return leg as a receipt to get the money back by mistake.
Having a look at my fine I noticed that as per section 9.1 the penalty fare is £20 or twice the single fare applicable.
The single fare is £21.40 so the penalty fare should be have been £42.80 not the £43.80 that they had charged. So I appealed on that basis.
They responded
"I acknowledge the points raised by yourself and this case has been fully reviewed. Being confident that AS have followed the correct procedure, I can confirm that our initial decision remains and payment of the outstanding balance of £42.80 is now due. The Penalty fare amount has been reduced by £1.00 as the penalty fare should of been charged at £42.80."
Can they do this?
