Hi all, total newbie here so please be gentle. All advice greatfully received. I got stopped on a Romford to Liverpool Street train in October and have just received a summons. The train was the 8.53 and totally packed with 30-40 people standing on the front 2 carriages I could see. I got on at the 1st set of doors behind the driver where about 8 people were standing and looked right for somewhere to stand/sit allowing more people behind me to board the train. Nothing to the right with about 20 people standing in the aisles so I turned left into a part of the carriage (I now know as First Class) where 7-8 people were seated and sat in the first seat I found next to the door. At 8.55 as the train gathered speed the Ticket inspectors arrived and started to question me. I tried to point out that I was unaware it was the First Class section and gave him my valid 7 day Oystercard. I was asked for my details which I fully supplied and was cautioned (1st time ). At no time did I get the option of trying to leave the carriage or offered to pay a penalty fare which I would have done straight away. At the end of the questioning I was given a prefilled sheet with just Yes's and No's on for my replys and told to sign. I continued to explain that I didn't know it was First Class but nothing was changing the situation. I tried to amend the answers especially the one asking if I had seen the signs but the best I could change this to was "Yes, once pointed out". I received a letter asking for further details and tried to explain the situation but heard nothing back before the summons yesterday. I understand I was in the wrong part of the train and am willing to pay for my mistake (2 minutes into the journey) but don't want any kind of court details on record against me. Suggestions please. Thanks kindly. Romford1
