Hi people
Today on my usual trip from Blackfriars to luton on the way home from work I sat down in 1st class, a station later the ticket guy came on and asked for my 1st class ticket.
I mentioned I thought it was declassified still (as to be fair I normally just sit in a standard carriage) I got up and said I'll move on to another part of the train.
He stood in my way and started to tell me he was going to issue me a 40 pound ticket!
I said that I will move on to another part of the train as explained as i thought it was declassified, he wasn't having any of it and carried trying to issue me with a 40 pound ticket. I did say to him it's ridiculous and I wasn't going to pay 40 pound for a misunderstanding.
He then said he will give me a mg11?!?!
I said I had no idea what that was but I will move and it's problem solved, simular to many ticket people I've seen just ask people to move before issuing fines etc
He stood in my way so I couldn't move and started to read my my rights???
He then wrote stuff down and asked me to sign, i declined!
I offered to pay the fine but my partner who was meeting me at the station had my card. I offered to pay and tried to come to some compromise. I said as soon as i get to the station I will pay as i will have the card.
He said if i don't pay now that's it.
To make matters worse he got off the train at the same stop I did, so I could of actually just paid the fine
Apparently I have to wait 24 days to get this letter?
Any help or advice will be greatfully accepted
