Hi,
As my name suggests, I have been a really silly person.
I was on a Thameslink train and only bought a ticket for part of my journey. The Revenue Officer talked to me, obtained my details and I signed a form stating that I didn't have the right ticket for the journey.
I am so so worried about being prosecuted and am deeply embarrassed. In fact worried isn't the word, petrified is a better word
After a worrying 3 months I have just received a 'Notice of intention to prosecute ' letter and need to reply within 14 days. It also references their intention to take this to the Magistrates Court.
The details of the offence are:
...did enter a train for the purpose of travelling on the railway, and upon inspection at LB; did not produce a valid ticket entitling travel.
Can you advise on a suitable response to GTR.
I am really worried, it talks about criminal record and prison sentence etc.
Thanks
SB
