    Travel Irregularity: Grantham to Newark Northgate

    I do have a job. I just want to get this out of the way and sorted. I had no idea that it was an offence to board a train without a ticket. I've been sold multiple tickets on the train especially on that route without a mention of this. As FTLO mentioned I'm going to try to get a season ticket...

    Travel Irregularity: Grantham to Newark Northgate

    I did not know it was an offence to board without a ticket. I have paid on the train for tickets before this incident. My funding is supposed to come through at the start of the week and it still hasn't. If I miss college I can have my funding revoked and/or be removed from my course. I am over...

    My parents already help me out with my rent and I have cut out alcohol, don't smoke and shop in also just to make my pennies go further.

    I'd be happy to pay that so as to avoid criminal charges. Do you know how much their costs might be?

    Travel Irregularity: Grantham to Newark Northgate

    I am over 18, no details were taken, no legal advice/warning was given and I was sold a ticket. I had no idea it was an offence to not buy a ticket at a station with ticket machines. I was told a couple of months ago it was ok to buy a ticket on the train. It's only now that I have attempted...

    Travel Irregularity: Grantham to Newark Northgate

    It doesn't mean I won't get paid at all but I've got enough money for two meals in the day otherwise. I knew it was a risk and I got caught. I'm fully prepared to pay off what is owed. Is there any other advice you can give me?

    Travel Irregularity: Grantham to Newark Northgate

    Thankyou. Yes it is entirely my responsibility that I got onto the train with the knowledge that I hadn't paid. Again I hadn't received my travel funding for this week and if I do not attend college I can have that funding withdrawn. Additionally there are only six colleges in the country that...
