Hi all,
I received a letter from SouthEastern in respect of a journey I made with no valid ticket. I was questioned at the station in London by a SouthEastern employee. I written back to them in respect of this given the letter is a 'provisional autharistaion for prosecution'. I know this was a really stupid mistake never going to do it again and the lesson has been learnt but of course understand why SouthEastern take a harsh stand on this. My question is just why is the letter from SouthEastern as the train I was on was a Thameslink Train? I did not use a SouthEastern train that day nor have I all year. Are they owned by the same company or are they able to levy a penalty /prosecute on behalf of other train operators i.e Thameslink?
