Hi everyone.
just joined as I’m worried. I work for TfL and my nominee pass holder was travelling from Stratford to Chelmsford. He’s started working PT there couple weeks ago 3 days a week.
He’s worked in Chelmsford before (2019) for a few months also. So he usually takes TfL rail to shenfield and then a Greater Anglia train to Chelmsford. He uses a weekly p2p travelcard (shenfield to Chelmsford) for that section of the journey.
For some stupid reason as he was late and rushing, he mistakingly took the GA service direct from Stratford to Chelmsford yesterday instead of TfL service and was stopped by revenue.
The officer then took his wallet and saw his TfL nominee pass and the p2p ticket. He also made him get out the old tickets from 2019 and said that apparently he believes he’s been doing this for years etc and that he will be investigated. The nominee cannot speak English well and was so distressed they couldn’t explain themselves so called me. I spoke to the officer and initially he said that he found tickets from 2019 and he believes that it’s been going on for that long. I stated that’s not correct as well as the fact that he’s only started working in Chelmsford again recently. The officer also alleged staff had seen [mod edit - him] jumping the gates multiple times. I told him that’s wholly untrue as he’s quite old. He then withdrew that allegation.
Cut a long story short the officer not only took away the p2p ticket but also the TfL nominee pass as evidence.
[mod edit - He] has never been in trouble with them before.
Id like to know whether he was right in taking the TfL pass away from him? Seeing as it’s not GA property? If they’ve rightly fully taken it as evidence, when and how would I get it back?
Also what would the most likely outcome be?
Any help would be much appreciated.
