i got a caution on friday is there any general timeline to wait for a letter?

It depends on the rail company and whatever it was that you are alleged to have done. It could be 5 days, 5 weeks, 5 months.

And what is this "caution" you have received? Please upload any paperwork (with personal details obscured) as this will help us give advice.

As you have been short-faring "a few times", it's likely Southeastern will investigate your online purchasing history before writing to you, so it may take a while before you first hear from them.

Hopefully you gave the correct name and address to the railway staff. If you move you should make sure that your post is sent on to you: the Royal Mail’s Redirection Service can do this. If the railway contacts you, which is likely, you may be able to resolve the matter without going to court, but you must answer their letters promptly, which could mean within a day or two of you receiving them. If you don’t reply in time it could spiral up to a more serious outcome.
