    London bus penalty fare

    For an appeal to be successful, you'll have to submit verifiable evidence that you touched in. Have you checked your travel a record on the TfL website?

    GWR Delay repay and London International CIV - delay to which destination? London or Eurostar?

    That assumes Gagravarr had a Business Premier ticket. They only said they had access to the BP queue, which is also available to (amongst others) Eurostar Rewards Carte Blanche and Étoile members.

    GWR Delay repay and London International CIV - delay to which destination? London or Eurostar?

    The 0520 Oxford-Paddington is scheduled to arrive at 0612. The connection time from Paddington to Eurostar departures is 95 minutes, composed of Paddington connection time 15 minutes, transfer time of 45 minutes, and London Intl Civ connection time 35 minutes. If you were booked on the 0731...

    29 3/4 minutes Avanti delay repay

    Unfortunately wherever the border sits some people will be on one side and some on the other. Whilst RTT etc. isn't always right, unless you have evidence of your own that the doors released after the 30 minute mark, I suspect you will struggle to get anything.

    Presence of BTP at revenue stings etc

    That would depend on 1) a BTP officer being present to take the evidence and statement 2) a spit collection kit being readily to hand 3) A continuous CCTV or body worn video footage showing that the saliva collected in said kit belonged to the alleged spitter and not to some other random person...

    Presence of BTP at revenue stings etc

    It does, but unless there is a member of the BTP to hand it's unlikely the expectorater's details will be obtained to prosecute them.

    Caught using expired railcard for almost 2 years? What’s going to happen (I don’t live in the UK anymore)

    A Conviction would render the defendant inadmissible to the UK for one year, under a recent change to the immigration rules. After that time, if a fine is due and unpaid, it is possible that the defendant could be arrested at the border if they attempted to enter the UK in the future. In...

    Northern Travel incident report

    If you (because let's be honest it's not "your friend", is it) left your season ticket at home by mistake, you can have the TIR cancelled by submitting evidence of the ticket to Northern. This dispensation is available twice a year. I am sure there will be no record of your smartcard being...

    Advice on requesting SJP outcomes from HMCTS

    Indeed they cannot. Not that there would be anything useful to observe: an SJP "hearing" consists predominantly of people reading computer screens and clicking buttons. SJP outcomes are available in bulk to bona fide members of the press who can call 0300 303 0656 during working hours. As...

    Caught using expired railcard for almost 2 years? What’s going to happen (I don’t live in the UK anymore)

    If you don't have anything in writing about this railcard extension, it didn't happen. Avanti will be writing to the address you gave to ask for an explanation of your conduct before deciding what to do next. Do you have a way of accessing mail sent to that address?

    Prosecution - help please!

    Yes, that's correct. They are just asking for the fare that you should have paid, with no "penalty" element. Once this is paid it will be the end of the matter. Obviously in future it is essential to ensure that a correct ticket is held before boarding the train – you need to use ticketing...

    Expired Railcard Prosecution

    You won't get a prison sentence for this so put that out of your mind. You will get a letter in the post usually within a few weeks though it may be longer, which when it arrives you should upload here and we will advise how to reply. Although you haven't helped yourself so far with your...

    Ticket machine not working

    S60 YJCEA did not, I think, change anything relevant to the matter under discussion. The relevant section is section 101 of the Magistrates Court Act 1980. In this case, the exception is created by Railway Byelaw 18.3.1, which states: These byelaws date to July 2005 though I understand they...

    Penalty Fare & Threat of Court Summons - Advice needed

    Penalty fare - got train a month too early

    Not if, as the OP states, it is an advance ticket. That ticket will of course remain valid for use on the booked date and can be changed if desired.

    Out of Court Settlement HELP

    If you were travelling from Grove Park to London Bridge, you are unlikely to be given credit for buying a ticket from Waterloo East to London Bridge, as the journeys don't overlap in any way.

    Ticket machine not working

    TfL doesn't accept e-tickets in most cases, so any ticket with cross-London validity will only be fulfilled to credit card size ticket.

    Reading to Ascot contactless payment

    I would just point out that the presence or absence of signs about the contactless zone is of no relevance to the validity of the Penalty Fare.
