thanks for your help do you know where the bye law, or statute explicitly gives that interpretation? i have to go out now, so please don't think i am ignoring your reply am v grateful G

Hi hearing date not till 2nd Feb she hasn't pleaded yet It is all a bit annoying, and she sent proof of her weekly pass back in November, and the phone representative had said that it would be sufficient even after the 21 day period - but then she heard nothing until yesterday when the summons arrived I fear that it may be a strict liability offence and that 'having a ticket' means having it on you but haven't been able to find a definitions section on the bylaws thanks G

My daughter is being prosecuted for being on a Greater Manchester Tram 'not having a valid ticket enabling her to do so' - Reg 4 (1) (a) Greater Manchester Metrolink System Byelaws She had a pass, ( left at home in error) and can prove it , but was too late responding to being issued with a 'Standard Fare' ( GM equivalent of the penalty fare) Does anyone know if 'having a ticket' must mean physical possession at the time? Can anyone help with a contact group similar to Passenger Focus- who don't deal with trams. Any other suggestions gratefully received G
