Hello. I would really appreciate some help and clarification on my current situation as I am very worried !!
Basically. I am currently living in Luton with my boyfriend however, I work outside London Bridge station. The train fare is £20 a day so I foolishly thought to pay a short fare and use a 16-17 railcard despite being 20. I did it for 2 weeks until I got paid, which equated to 8 separate times ! I completely understand the gravity of how wrong this is, and I am very ashamed. I didn’t really think and made a huge mistake. I got caught earlier today and was issued a witness statement by Thameslink railway. I am very worried they will look at my previous tickets and see I’ve done it more than once, and with that will take me to court and prosecute me. Please can someone tell me the likelihood of these things happening and what I should do if it does? Again, I feel awful and will never do anything like this again and I never have before.
Please help !!
