Hi everyone, I’ll try and keep it short and brief but detailed.
I was travelling home via Eastleigh - farnborough main, there was no where to get a ticket at the station and I usually get one on the train, however there was no guard giving out tickets and I couldn’t find one when looking, so at my first opportunity I asked at the barriers at farnborough main if I could buy a ticket from Eastleigh to farnborough main, they refused and insisted I had to have a prosecution, I even offered to pay the fee + a fine but they insisted on taking this route.
I was told I have to wait up to 6 months, but my anxiety is killing me already. What’s the likelihood I get out through court and given a criminal record ?
I’m also worried as about a month ago I got fined for accidentally setting the return date on my ticket for the next day instead of same day travel and I’m worried that will constitute as a “repeated offence”
Hopefully that all makes sense and I’m eager to hear people’s thoughts.
Many thanks,
Harry.
