Hello,
i was travelling on an East Midlands railway service with a ticket i bought on trainline. I boarded at nottingham station on a train to bedford, trainline automatically applied my railcard and I completely forgot to bring it with me. i was questioned by a ticket inspector and realised i had forgot it. He knew i was on the train for a while but did not fine me double my ticket, he fined me 20 and wrote on the penalty fine notice that i got on and got off at two stops next to eachother, then sold me a ticket for the rest of my journey that was was about 70 pounds, he told me to appeal. I am in process of doing so, but it is clear in the appeal process that i was fined incorrectly, as i have to show my original ticket and write out all the information. Should i still appeal? Or could it end with me getting fined even more? Or maybe getting the inspector into trouble? Im really not sure what to do here.
Thanks for any responses im very anxious about how to proceed
