Last year I was stopped on a bus with a railcard and the ticket inspector confiscated my ticket. I have emails from TFL stating that the ticket inspector should not have removed my ticket. It is now going to court and TFL have stated in their defense that I was issued a receipt for the ticket that was taken. The only thing that I was given was an authority to travel which was written out incorrectly and I could not use to travel. They also claim that they issued me with Penalty Fare Notice which they claim was given to me when the ticket was confiscated my ticket.
I have a letter of TFL stating that the ticket inspector did not follow the correct procedures and he should not have withdrawn my pass. The letter states that a TATT was issued but was not completed correctly. No mention of a receipt being issued.
The question is if TFL do confiscate a ticket do they have to supply a receipt? And if so do you have to sign it to say that TFL have confiscated your ticket? As I never received a receipt I dont know what one looks like.
Also when they issue you a penalty fare notice dont you have to sign for it? Does the penalty fare notice have a time and date on it when it was issued?
