Hello I'm seeking some advice, but please bare with me as this is my first post.
I was travelling from pontypool to Cardiff central on Friday 10th evening, there is no tickets machine in pontypool so I thought I'd pay as I got off in Cardiff as the train was packed due to the rugby we were traveling down for.
As we got off we were directed out of the station via tickets sellers, stupidly (after a few drinks) I told the person I had traveled from Newport, they told me the barriers were down in Newport and that I could of not got on in newport.
I was taken aside by a revenue officer and was asked questions where I eventually told them I had traveled from pontypool, I was issued a paper saying I had traveled on the train without valid ticket bylaw 18.
The man told me I'd have nothing to pay today but I'd have a letter in the post, what happens now?
I really don't want to end up with a criminal record because of my job!
Help please
