How funny, I have only just joined this forum, and only a few topics down, the same scenario (ish) has happened to me in part ( see topic heading "
I have had part off this scenario happen to me!!!
I had tapped in at the start of my Journey, the card registered me tapping in successfully (no issues there)
half way along my journey, I was asked to tap my card on a reader, I said NO
The person asking me had NO ID, there tag is nothing more than a train service Logo, His said Thameslink, it does NOT provide me with the details of the person asking me to hand over my credit card or my details,
I did however provide my name and address as I am obliged to if asked, I completed my journey and tapped out at the end of my trip, My credit card that is resisted with TFL shows the entry time, and the completion time and the correct fare paid,
there is absolutely no fair evasion in this instant
The train compony still want to pursue this matter further having provided them with the paid journey details (transaction number, times etc etc)
I am legally obliged to have a paid for my journey, which I did, I am obliged to show them my train ticket which I could not as I paid with a credit card, I am obliged to give them my correct details which I did,
if I was not happy for safety reasons, to tap my credit card on a credit card reader that I could not verify, have I committed a offence ???? having now provided a proof of payment
How do you check the I.D of any rail employee checking your tickets?
