I travelled from Cheadle Hulme to Bolton in January.
I have always paid on the train or at Piccadilly on the dozen or so times Ive made the same journey, I got to Piccadilly and got in the queue to buy my ticket, when I got to the front of the queue I asked for a ticket from Cheadle Hulme to Bolton with money in my hand, but was issued a fine because I didn't have a promise to pay card.
I accepted the fine explaining I was in a good mood cos of my medication, Promazine, which is an anti psychotic, and a sedative. I understand if I'm intoxicated and the collector is aware of this, I am exempt. Is this true? Am I not exempt as I tried to buy a ticket at an intermediate station, not my final destination?
Ive a court date in 10 days, all advice welcome!
