Caught using wrong ticket

[user89267]

Hi all,

I was caught using the wrong Thameslink ticket on 06/03/25 and gave the ticket inspector my details, but I still haven’t received any emails/letters and i’m not sure whether to just wait or not.

I had bought a thameslink ticket for a shorter journey a few times to try and save money. I now realise how stupid this was and i’ve been extremely worried about the consequences.

After looking at several posts on this forum, many others have already received their letters for incidents that happened after mine. I don’t want the issue to escalate further due to any missed letters/emails, but I defo haven’t received anything yet.

I’m basically wondering if I should contact GTR myself? I obviously don’t want to remind them of what happened, but I also want to make sure nothings been missed.

Thank you in advance for any advice

Welcome.

Usually advice is to wait.

But just to check.

Assume you gave a correct postal address and you think they recorded that correctly. ?

You have have not moved house?

You do not have problems with your post. You can test that to some degree by posting yourself a letter ideally from another town.

Of course the reason not to contact them is largely to not remind them.

Hello,


Thank you for your response!

I’ve checked the witness statement receipt given to me by the ticket inspector and this has all my correct details. I receive post regularly so there shouldn’t be any issues, i’m just a big worrier

I have already drafted a brief response letter and will post in here for some advice once ive actually received the letter from GTR

Thank you again

It could be they are looking into the journey history before contacting you.
I would wait until they contact you. And prepare the reply. You can always upload the reply here with the letter when you get it. And the veterans will give you sound advice regarding the reply.
