Penalty Fare appeals

[¸.·´¯`·.¸><((((º>]

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.

a) No.

b) Pay.

I don't think you've got any grounds to appeal if, in your own words, you "couldn't be arsed" to spend 2 minutes buying a ticket.

Send them a letter saying 'Go f*** yourselves you useless ****s'. You will still have to pay but it might seem worth it.

No, pay and don't appeal or be a pikey

Not having a pop, but wasn't it you who said "if you don't want to pay a parking ticket, don't park illegally?" I think the same applies here.

Don't get started on penalty fares on here, somebody will call for you to be birched etc etc.

no
pay
be arsed in future

That is the point of penalty fares to penalise people like you

Fair evaders are the downfall of this country.

I bet you're glad you posted this question on here now, aren't you?

 

[Napper]

do they ask for I.D , What if you dont have it ? false name ?

 

[Nibble]

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

There were random ticket inspectors at Haywards Heath yesterday, 4 people were being fined as i walked past.

Fools

 

[y2dave]

Had 3 penalty fares, succesfully appealed against 1, ignored another from a year ago and had no response so currently ignoring a third.

South West Trains reduced the number of ticket machines by 50% at my station (which means big queues) and seem to be actively pursuing penalty fares. Scum.

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

Well you've changed your tune a bit haven't you, this is what you wrote when I was stitched up by a traffic warden.

I'm sure you, and in fact most people, would do the same if you were in his position. He is earning a living. I don't know for sure but I would imagine traffic wardens are on some sort of performance related package. Giving out tickets earns him money. He will give out as many as he thinks he can get a way with. Who can blame him?
