Hello all,
I recently travelled from my local station, of which did have ticket facilities available.
However, I did not get one as I was in a rush and only had a couple of minutes to spare. I have previously and saw others buy tickets on the train, of which I thought I was able to. When the warden came around I got my card and offered to pay. He said that they didn't do that anymore and took my details e.g. name, address. He asked how often I travel and said 'not very often, once a fortnight' and then said that I'd receive something in the post. I asked if I'm going to be fined and he said 'we don't do fines'.
I thought I'd be able to buy a ticket on the train (obviously I know now). Just a concern, is that will I get a criminal record from all this?
Some background, I am willing to pay any fee or amount they want and this is the first time anything like this has ever happened. This is East Midlands Railway.
Thank you for any help.
