Hi there,
I was travelling through a station this morning and binned my ticket for the station i was travelling to once I got there so I could continue my journey. in the same station I was travelling through so am now on a second leg of the journey to work only this time I am covered from here on able to prove I had swiped...he stopped me after I swiped, is this relevant?
The policeman interviewed me and asked me if where I had come from. He put me under a lot of pressure and I am going through health problems at the moment and had other things on my mind.
He then asked me several questions to which I said yes. Could you provide evidence. He made me sign then formally cautioned me. He said it is a cautionable offence and spoke about magistrates court etc
He told me it is up to the train company to decide whether to write to me..I do not know quite what that means.
I don't know what to do from this point, is it worth writing a letter in advance to offer a settlement?
How likely would they be to settle out of court?
I really would do anything at this point to make sure it doesn't go any further. Can anyone offer any constructive advice?
I had a season ticket until recently too which frustrates me even more to be had for something so ridiculous..I moved back home temporarily so have been buying day tickets when I need to go in to work.
Thanks
