Hi all! I was approached by a ticket inspector, or whatever they are called now, earlier on this evening. I had paid for my fare with my Oystercard (yes my Oystercard!), however thanks to Boris Johnson I get bus travel at half price as I've been stuck on the Work Programme. Unfortunately, I did not have my photocard with me as they didn't issue me a wallet, & I'd intended travelling home by the Tube. He took me off the bus (though never revealed himself as a revenue inspector) & asked me further details, he said to verify that the card was mine. It was, so I was quite relaxed about it. However, despite taking my details, taking the card number & also seeing bank cards verifying who I was, he wound up giving me a fine. I did not expect this, & he would not explain why he had, & the 10 burly coppers with him wouldn't let me ask him. I did not sign anything. The reason for issue is 9- Transferred Pass. I have looked on here & it seems this is a serious offence, however as mentioned, the pass has not been transferred & I provided all information asked. He actually expected me to pay £40 on the spot, but gave me back the Oystercard, so I am confused. Should I appeal, & how should I go about it? I also want to know if there is a facility on buses so that I can pay the extra 65p? I don't need a photocard to go on the Tube, so if I don't have the pass again, am I to be relentlessly fined? Any help would be appreciated.
