Received a penaly fare on the train yesterday. I wasn't intentionally jibbing the ride, just couldn't be arsed buying a ticket to go beyond the boundary of my valid season ticket.

Anyone successfully appealed against one of these on the past? Any tips greatfully received.

Go to court.

You might win.

Yes , can't tell you how but giving false names is a waste of time especially as they have powers of arrest

What ticket inspectors have powers of arrest, or the BTP do?

Certain ticket inspectors have warrant cards and powers of arrest
What about the uncertain ones? There are plenty of those.

I frequently find that they are baffled by my excuse for not having a ticket:-

"I got on at Glynde. There's no ticket machine there. And there's not even a Permit to Travel machine".

I used to work at Glynde, what a lovely place that is in the summer

The only problem, as i discovered after a trip to the famous Trevor Arms, is that there's 1 train out of Glynde every hour, and 1 bus every 3 hours. Bit of a bugger if you don't drive!:lolol:

Don't bother asking son, you'll only get the self-righteous brigade who apparently never break the law, go above 30mph or park on a double yellow telling you off.

I take it you're in the "I broke the law and I've been fined for it, I cannot accept that this is a consequence of my actions - how can I get out it" brigade?

I gave a false name and address once-They found out straight away on some database. I am a fool.

surely if the name and address you gave them was the real name and address of someone you hate they could not say you weren't them, or did you just make up a name and address? which I suppose they could easily check.

Next time you are avoiding justice, be prepared!

I gave the name of someone I hate but couldn't remember his address so made one up. Absaloutly bloody ridiculous and can't think why I ever thought It would work. Was about 13 years ago now though when I was in my teens.

In law the Police have no more powers of arrest than the man on the street so in that respect the Ticket Inspector has as much power as a Police Officer.

Not to be preachy but how many times have you got away without paying before and surely you know the risks?
