The journey was on the 6th July, so I'm not holding out much hope for the CCTV! Even if it's held for 30 days, it might be after that before SE get around to responding to my Subject Access Request.
I'd excepted the appeals people to at least get in touch with the Revenue Inspector for comment - the inspector's comments to me implied that he thought this would all be sorted out fairly simply with a standard appeal - but the response I got was:-
"A penalty fare notice is a legal document which PSL has a right to assume is correct and has no authority
to alter. Any incorrect information recorded on a notice should be brought to the attention of the authorised
collector at the time of issue. [Which I did, and kept saying I did!]
To determine liability, therefore, the appeal has been judged in accordance with the origin station stated on
the notice."
It seems that only evidence that I could produce myself would be considered, and thought that the CCTV might well do that, but the clock is running down.
Hence the requests on here for help in presenting evidence of incorrect signage
I do consider it to be nit-picking, but I'm not doing it to dodge an otherwise correctly issued penalty fare, just that it seems my only avenue to avoid a penalty I feel I have no moral responsibility to pay.
It's not worth me travelling down there myself for more that the cost of the penalty!
