    Tfl prosecuted nurse

    Indeed, I should have made this more clear in my post!! Although I feel given the OP’s somewhat questionable attitude to paying train fares, it is not too much of a stretch to say they may consider attempting to conceal such a conviction. Although in relation to people saying the point has...

    Tfl prosecuted nurse

    Indeed further to the above it indeed remains a high possibility of you being struck off by the NMC, with the sanction on file being very much a best case scenario. Indeed being instantly dismissed from your current position on the grounds of gross misconduct would then be the least of your...

    Greater Anglia delay repay appeal taking longer than expected.

    Indeed, as @Watershed confirmed, it is indeed possible to rightfully gain any delay repay that you may be eligible for, despite the NRCoT purporting to limit when this applies using the published timetable of the day. As @Watershed mentions, if you wish to see why indeed such an exclusion is...

    Greater Anglia delay repay appeal taking longer than expected.

    This is not the case, indeed my opinion and I believe that of @Watershed who will happily explain more, I’m sure!! Is that any attempt to use the purported timetable of the day exclusion is illegal under consumer and potentially contract law. Thus meaning that you are indeed entitled to delay...

    Greater Anglia Partial Fare Evasion

    Others may have a different opinion to me. But depending on whether GA chose a Byelaw or Regulation of the Railways Act prosecution. There is no public interest test that they must satisfy. This would be a private prosecution by GA. I will add before others mention it, that the Crown...

    Greater Anglia Partial Fare Evasion

    I will leave the issue to whether or not to reply to the email from Greater Anglia, to the more regular posters in this area of the forum. But I will add one thing. It is an offence under Section 84(1) of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 prohibits any person from providing immigration...

    Caught using an Oyster card loaded with a discount which I wasn't entitled to

    No worries, as proved by myself it is indeed a complex area. Just wanted to make sure that the OP or other visitors of the thread realise it is indeed the case.

    Caught using an Oyster card loaded with a discount which I wasn't entitled to

    After taking some time back to read through my post. Everything Island mentions is the case. Been a while since I did this area of law at university. Will teach me to properly read over and check what I post. But the short of it is, that if convicted of a byelaw offence you do have a a...

    Caught using an Oyster card loaded with a discount which I wasn't entitled to

    In relation to getting a criminal record, the statement you make is manifestly untrue. If convicted in a magistrates court of a byelaw offence. You will indeed have a criminal record, as you have been convicted of a criminal offence. The misunderstanding comes from the fact that this byelaw...

    caught using friend's annual oyster

    I will leave advice on how to respond if and when you receive a letter from TFL, to the usual posters on the matter. @Hadders @Fawkes Cat Though it would be remiss of me to mention that TFL treat this sort of offence seriously and often seek to prosecute. But you must first wait for any...

    Is first class declassified Reading to Waterloo?

    I very much thought so, but wanted to confirm in case anyone else stumbles upon this thread with similar questions. Though it would be much more helpful if indeed timetables were marked more clearly by SWR to confirm such.

    Is first class declassified Reading to Waterloo?

    Indeed, this is correct. With repeated announcements after every couple of stops, stating that this service is standard class only. Does that constitute permission from an authorised person in the eyes of the forum? Or indeed another permission to prevent being penalty-fared or charged an...

    Is first class declassified Reading to Waterloo?

    Hi guys, just a question I’m pretty sure I know the answer too. From Reading to Waterloo, the train has first class but I’m the timetable it is marked as standard class only. That means I am entitled to sit in the first class area on a standard class ticket?

    Help: Chiltern railways fare evasion prosecution email

    I think you are not taking head of the advice that is being offered to you here. This is not just the normal low level fare evasion we see. I very much concur with other posters that have stated to seek legal advice. This is a serious matter that could have large and long reaching consequences...

    Cautioned due to expired railcard

    Although it should be noted, that it may harm any defence you have if you do not mention it when placed under caution. Indeed this is specifically mentioned in the caution used by the police. ‘ You do not have to say anything. But, it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned...

    Thameslink-case taken to court despite letter to settle out of court

    The answer to which I do not know. But a simple google search will explain the law around immigration advice, as well as the reasons as to which it was introduced. Needless to say advice in purely work related visas and nothing further is one of the very very few parts of the justice and...

    Fare Evasion - SWR

    Well as long as you are confident in the advice that they gave you. That is what you should do. Although I may caution you that in my opinion this leaves you at high risk of facing further and more severe legal consequences down the line. Though I must caution although I have legal training I...

    Fare Evasion - SWR

    I’m this case it is absolutely imperative that before you say or do anything further in relation to this matter, that you seek independent legal advice. Once they are availed of all the facts, they will be able to instruct you what is in your interest. But I state it is very important that you...
