I have two sons and they are 17 years and 14 years old. Both travel in DIFFERENT routes.
When I bought the monthly season ticket this time, I bought the season ticket for 17 years using the photo id of 14 years by mistake. I used to renew their season tickets together. Since photo id of 14 years was damaged and to be replaced, I have decided to take the ticket for 17 years first and take the new id and ticket for 14 years later as new photo was needed for that.
Since both id were at the same place, I took 14 years id for taking the ticket to 17 years. On the same day, later in the evening I have taken new id and ticket for 14 years for his regular route.
17 years didnt realize that ticket was taken in his brothers name as the ticket shows only the full surname with an initial and route shown in the ticket was his regular route. He used his id and ticket for the travel.
He has been enquired by the inspector last week. He told him that there is confusion, the ticket has been purchased by his dad and really he couldnt understand whats wrong. Inspector collected his details, taken the season ticket and copy of his photo id. He gave him a return ticket and told him that a letter will be sent asking explanation.
17 years photo id was not valid at the time of travel as it was expired in beginning of June, which we didnt notice. If I would have taken the correct id, this would have come to light.
In summary, 17 years travelled with expired photo id and monthly season ticket purchased in brothers name.
Really I feel very guilty and I am much worried. Though it is an unknown (no intention behind it) mistake, I am really worried how it will be viewed by the authorities.
It will be very helpful, if anyone could advise me on this.
Thanks.
