(It would still be really good for those creators to do something though!)

My YouTube channel has a different - and larger - audience than the creators you mention. There’s a little crossover of course, but I am hoping to hit a different cross section of audience than people who (should) know all about it already.

In fairness, “to me” is just your opinion. It’s not a fact. Deliberately avoiding paying for something is not necessarily a fraud depending on the manner in which it is done.

Not if you just board without a ticket having passed the ticket office. That’s not a fraud at all, which requires you to make some sort of representation. By your definition a squatter is also a fraudster because they’re in a house when they shouldn’t be. But that isn’t how it works.

I've considered this - I do plan on including something around this. I know people will feel naturally cynical ("you know the air fares aren't always that low!") and will show a few extortionate LON-EDI airfare examples "and that is what happens when fares aren't regulated, and are left to the...

You misunderstand - it is not meant to be a general comparison. I have several examples of trains being sold out or with the £199 fare only - including on days where it is much cheaper to fly via Amsterdam. It is a video about a single trip, a single verifiable example, where I take less time to...

The point is that the flight is *available* that day, unlike many of LNER's trains, which claim not to be - or will cost you £199. In any case the idea is not to say the flight via Amsterdam is cheaper all the time, or that people should copy this idea. It will require hassle and guile and some...

Either this marks a severe departure from GTR’s custom and practice, settling with every single offender, or there are significant factors not disclosed to the forum. Time will tell, I suppose, if more people come to the forum and say they find it difficult to settle with GTR.

Thank you! The first is a really good example. (The fare has risen even since then, too! It’s now £199.60)

Apologies for the thread bump, but I know some of you must be subscribed to this thread and interested in the development of the fares trial. I’m going to make a YouTube video where the buried lede is the price rises and failed simplification on LNER, and would really appreciate if you have...

I have already, and I’ve got his tweets supporting the trial :lol: yes the Trojan horse of the trial is the removal of the Advance fare cap which was there as a result of a flexible off peak being at a certain price. This will be the fundamental point of the video, as well as outlining some key...

So, to be clear, this is not a comparison of train v plane. The point of the video is *not* "it is cheaper and better to fly, you should do this". The point is, as outlined in the opening post "Wow what a stupid stunt, who does this? > Ok wow LNER is a rip off I did not realise this > Oh ok you...

Good morning! I'm in the process of making a YouTube video highlighting LNER's gross ripoff fares as a result of their trial and the fake "compulsory" reservation policy. I'm going to fly from Edinburgh to London, via Amsterdam with KLM, in 3h15m - my plane ticket is cheaper than the fully...

So at the time of the stop, you did not have a railcard at all, right? That is what "latter" means in this situation.

Yes.

You don’t understand; they’ll prosecute you for that single criminal offence in the magistrates’ court. You don’t want that either. It’ll cost you hundreds of pounds.

It’s not up to you to retrospectively prove you had the correct ticket/s or railcard. Tell them you are unable to supply proof for the reasons you gave in your opening post. They likely don’t have evidence for either RoRA or Fraud prosecutions although they may still prosecute you for the single...

Can you upload all of the correspondence you have received with your details redacted? It’s important we see what has been sent in context, and whether or not they are threatening to prosecute you for the single offence where they caught you “red handed”.

Tell that to the families of the 30,000+ civilians killed in Gaza in the last six months. If you had to carry your dead daughter out of your garden in several shuttle runs because her body was no longer intact, how consoled might you be by an assurance that the shell that killed her was intended...
