Hello,
I'm new to posting threads, and dont want to upset anyone! But I am the person who actually left my ticket on the train and was collared at the blockade when I got off. I have received my standard letter asking for me to explain why I didnt have a ticket - as I explained to the ticket inspector, I paid by card and so my bank statement shows a debit of the correct amount, albeit a day later due to clearing.
My question is - will it be enough evidence for me to simply provide a bank statement? I have been worried to death reading everyones threads about Northern Rail being really harsh pursing fare evaders, and I dont want this matter to go any further.
Before I write & send off my bank statement I just wanted peace of mind that they dont want any other evidence from me, or expect me to offer to settle out of court to avoid a criminal record, which is something that I keep on reading again & again on these threads!
Thanks in advance for your help,
xx
