Hi All, A friend of mine recently used my season ticket with their photocard, was caught by a RI at First Capital connect and the ticket was confiscated. I have since been to the station and asked for it back. They have told me to contact the prosecutions department who I have tried calling but have had no answer. Does anyone have any suggestions for which course of action to take and what the likely outcome will be? Thanks in advance!

Hi there. New to the forum. I wonder if anyone could advise me as to my rights. I was made redundant on Monday. When I was told of this I was told to stay in the room upstairs in my work and clear my desk out at the end of the day. The redundancy was immediate and I was not to work my notice although I will be paid. That was fair enough since I had full admin privileges to the computers and servers. When I went down to clear my desk the removable hard drive (belonging to the work) and my own personal flashdrive had been removed from my laptop. I was told they would hold onto my flashdrive until they had ensured that it contained no work related stuff, it would then be returned to me. They have still not returned it 4 days on. I have tried several times to phone to ask for it's return and was told that my boss would phone me back. I have received no such phone call. The situation is made more serious by the fact that the flashdrive contains things that should not be in the public domain. I need to know: 1 - Did they have any right to confiscate this in the first place, and 2 - Do I have the right to demand it back without further delay Watch this space I will probably have more on the subject of the redundancy as I am the only one who is to be made redundant.

Hi everybody. To start with, I know, 100% that I am in the wrong here and do not expect any sympathy for the situation at all, I'm just wondering as to what, if anything may happen next. Basically, this evening, having just missed my train I decided to get the bus for the 4 mile journey to a friends house. I realised that because I'd only taken enough money to cover the train fare I didn't have enough money on me (£4.90) to cover the cost of a First day ticket (allows you to make unlimited journeys in the area as I needed to get two buses), and foolishly thought I may be able to get a student first day ticket which costs £4 if i used my now expired Student card to purchase a ticket. I know, totally wrong and regretted it immediately. The card expired in September (says 2011-2012 on the card) and I'm no longer at the University. To cut a long story short, the driver asked to see the card, I handed it to him, he said that the card had expired so wouldn't be able to use it and then said he would have to keep the card, I said ok and he asked where I wanted to go - bought a single fare and nothing else was said. Since then i've been thinking over and over about what could happen now. My card just had my picture and my name on it, no other personal information such as an address etc. So, fair enough, I know I was in the wrong, stupid thing to do in the first place and something I've honestly never done before. Whilst I know it's probably impossible to say but is this likely to result in further action? As I say, he took no details from me at all and just treated me as any other customer thereafter. The card is/was property of the university - nothing to do with the bus company. It was on the First bus service in Stoke-on-trent. Many thanks

hi, there I'm a 21 year old uni student home for the holidays, And i attempted to use my Children's Bus pass to get a discounted fare on the bus. The bus driver took my card and told me that it had expired and i was too old to use it. since i was going to work, I paid the cost for an adult ticket and said that I didn't know that i couldn't use it as a bus driver had let me use it yday. I am really worried that i will get a court hearing. I don't want any legal trouble as it might affect my course of study at uni. how likely is it that i will receive a letter from them? The card itself does not have my address or phone but i had to fill these details in to get it in the first place so they might have them in their computer systems. thanks for your help!
