Hi Guys,
I'm a Birmingham Uni student, a few weeks ago I got caught on the barriers by a ticket officer as I had bought a child ticket, the journey on the ticket was also shorter than what I actually travelled (Usual ticket is normally £6) . I've done this about 25 or so times in the past few months when commuting to uni (not realising it was an offence). The guy took down my details such as address/ name etc and said that the railway company would contact me soon. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard anything yet.
What is the consequences for this? I have never been fined before or had any previous convictions. I now realise that it was wrong and will never do it again. I'm a natural worrier and have had sleepless nights, can someone pls give me any advice? Will I go to jail for this or will it be a huge fine?
