Hi all,
I’m in a bit of a predicament and would appreciate some help.
I was stopped in December 2020 for not having a ticket and I’ve been awaiting contact from West Midlands railway.
Unfortunately I have had to leave the country due to an emergency and will not be back until June. I’ve been having a friend check my letters at my address since I’ve been away and shes informed me I’ve received a letter from West Midlands railway prosecution department. She sent me a picture of the letter which is essentially asking to confirm if I am the person that was stopped and to also add any further mitigating factors that may influence the decision.
From reading some threads on this forum, the advice is to write a letter to the railway, being apologetic, owning to the mistake and asking for an out of court settlement.
Since I am not in the country, I thought it would be best to contact the railway and possibly ask for an extension or sort things out over the phone.
I have been trying to contact the number on the prosecutions letter for the past week but there is no answer. I’ve also searched online for alternative numbers/email addresses to contact but can’t find anything. The deadline to get back to the railway is fast approaching and I’m out of options. Please help.
