What was she given when she was stopped?
It was with GWR. However it says the sum is 82 pounds on the leaflet. So are you saying if I bought a ticket for her before? Which I may of allegedly did around a couple months ago on the same company, I will have to pay that one too?
While on the train she was given a leaflet that stated she had to pay 82 pounds. The guy got her name and address. He got my ticket aswell and read me out my full name. I think it was meant in a like semi threatening way.
Can you please upload a photo (with any identifying details covered) so we can see exactly what you were given. It's unclear what actually was issued from your description.
It's entirely possible. Child fares are only for persons aged 5 to 15. Someone aged 16 just a couple of months ago would have been too old for a Child ticket, so, if you bought the previous ticket, you may get asked about this if the train company are minded to do some digging.
Ok, thank-you.
Ok thankyou. What about if I allegedly lied about my age before on another ticket a few months ago? Will they dig that up too?
I was going exeter to taunton. He caught her a few mins into it
If you used an on-line retailer to purchase the tickets, and you gave them details of either who that was, or details of the tickets themselves, then even if you do pay, they could still review your account. However, you don't have to admit that any previous purchases were of a similar nature and it will be for them to prove that you didn't travel with someone under 16 if you purchased said ticket. Should be fine if you purchased an adult one for yourself at the same time (for yourself). But if you only purchased child tickets in the last 2 years, and they are aware you are 18 now, it might raise eyebrows if they do decide to look at further.
Ok thank you. She is going to pay the fine tonight.
One for the forum. Is £32-70 the correct single fare due?
Hi, I think the fare was 30 pounds, however I am not 100% sure as I can’t remember. It might of been cheaper.
I cannot find any fare from Exeter to Taunton that is £32.70.
Good. Hopefully your ages play a role here in that a short sharp shock is more likely to ensure you pay correctly for train travel in the future. Get a railcard, tell your friends that it isn't worth travelling without paying the full fare. You might save a few ££s now, only to have to spend them when you might be more in need of them in the future. Oh, and the possible criminal record should the worst happen (something you have avoided here by being pro-active).
Hi, It was near Exeter, however due to me being paranoid I didn’t state which station as I didn’t want them to get me in more trouble.
I don't think it's relevant and doesn't need to be revealed as TOCs have been known to read these forums.
Thankyou. She is investing in a railcard. I do feel bad, however I didn’t know how bad the consequences would be as all my friends bunk trains and lie about age all the time. I have learnt my lesson and so has she.
It is relevant in that if the incorrect fare is used the notice is void and will be overturned on appeal.
As @skyhigh points out, would be relevant if the PF has been incorrectly completed with the wrong fare amount.
I actually think it might be the wrong fare amount she got given. It was Starcross to Bridgwater train. but changed at exeter early this morning.
That's something for the forum's moderation team to decide upon.

I believe you have to send a private message to the Moderators requesting this and why you think it needs deleting. The point of these forums is for information for all. It is part of the T&C's signed up for when creating an account. They might be able to anonomise parts, but I would personally be against any deletion of the essence of the thread.
I am lying about most info and about the county I was in. And lying about the event taking place today and about the fare price. Only to keep myself anonymous.
