 Young person's railcard, train, court summons
Hi there,
Sorry, im sure this must have been answered before, but I couldnt find it anywhere...
I bought my train tickets online. I bought them with a young persons railcard discount.
I have/had a railcard for the journey, but couldn't find it. I got on the train thinking, at least I have the exact recipet of the railcard, that should be enough...
On the train, I searched hard for the receipt, but couldnt find it. Ticket guy said pay 160 off quid - he was rude bla bla, but that's all been said before...
I said I havent got that money on me - he asked me to sign something that said I intended to board this train without a valid ticket (which wasnt true).
When I refused, he got the railway civil police person to interview/caution me etc.
He interviewed me and his notes along with a summons have been issued to me asking for 60quid plus costs (120quid).
I got my brother to pick up the receipt from my house that day and produced it to the train company at my final destination & got the card replaced.
He said the company should send a fine, pay it and you should be fine etc...
Well it had been 4 months. Now I have this summons...
In fact I am currently abroad and will be for the next 6-8 months probably.
Can anyone help please??? |
