Hi all,
I have recently received a letter from Chiltern Railways about being found travelling without a valid train ticket.
Full disclosure I short fared on three occasions which I am aware is wrong and am deeply regretful of.
I travelled between warwick and birmingham and only paid from solihull to birmingham.
I also bought a weekly pass from warwick to birmingham but starting on the wrong day (genuinely) which I then refunded.
In the letter I received they asked me to voluntarily attend an interview with a senior investigator to answer questions about my rail journeys and refunds submitted on the trainline app.
Has anyone heard about these interviews before?
I want to be honest and comply and think it is best to attend the interview but I am anxious about whether this is a good idea with out a solicitor.
I have attached the letter.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am happy to give more details and answer questions.
