I was travelling home from work after a long day. I saw the barriers open and walked through, very foolish. There was a tfl inspector and I expected to be issued a penalty fare. Instead, he phoned TFL and then he took my details including a description of me.
I am now expecting a letter in the post. I wondered if people could tell me why I didn't just get a penalty fare, which I would have just paid. I make the same journey almost every day, I always tap in and out, my oyster journey history shows this. I spend around £100 a month with a very consistent commute pattern.
I was issued a penalty fare several years ago, which I paid. I hadn't tapped in at Victoria and walked straight into a revenue inspector, very silly of me. Could this be the reason why? I'd have thought it being one penalty from over 3 years ago that I wouldn't be classed as any kind of repeat offender.
Does anyone also know what the next steps are? Is there a chance of settling out of court or just getting a warning?
