Hello,
So a week and half or so I received a letter from Govia Thameslink Railway fare evasion manager to inform me I’m being prosecuted for travelling in first class without a valid ticket on the 13th of February of this year. The station was Alexandra Palace. The thing is this was not me. The day after, on the 14th of Feb I would be flying out and as a student with deadlines I was most likely (it’s hard to say for 100%) at home/local cafe revising. I can 100% say I’ve never been to Alexandra Palace station and do not take the Thameslink frequently. Probably once in my life. This was absolutely not me. It’s far from where I live in London. I responded in the time frame and received a follow up letter today which indicates they are moving forward with this case and will be receiving a summons to attend magistrates court. I’m thoroughly confused. This was not me, they have spelt my name wrong, also. How do I prove this? I don’t think I travelled that day. Any advice?
