How do they enforce the fine? How do they know your name and address?
You are, but it depends on who gets to you first. If it's the conductor and they're of a decent disposition you pay the fare. Otherwise you may be hit by the fare plus the added tax.Since when weren't you allowed to buy tickets on the train?
Conductors (and platform barrier staff) used to get bonuses for every ticket they sold. To motivate them to catch fare-dodgers. Even the accidental ones.You are, but it depends on who gets to you first. If it's the conductor and they're of a decent disposition you pay the fare.

I take it as effectively, because they have rejected my appeal so I want to be effective as win the 2nd appeal. If it's a **** take , soz my mood is a bit moody tonight so have missed it.Don't take this the wrong way, but do you want to re-appeal more efficiently or more effectively?
Or is that a smashing new word that means both?
I suppose they'll get round that with the availability of ticket machines.One of the reasons for rejection of my appeal was that I should have provided sufficient time to purchase a ticket, but what is sufficient time? If the ticket office is open but no one is answering, then what is sufficient time, 20 mins, 40mins, genuine question Is not turning up to an open ticket office and requesting to be served not sufficient time, even if no one responds?
Not a p1sstake, just a light hearted observation. No offence intended.I take it as effectively, because they have rejected my appeal so I want to be effective as win the 2nd appeal. If it's a **** take , soz my mood is a bit moody tonight so have missed it.

My phone is on its way out, so couldn't get proper data connection. A little more of the Backstory to the fine:-Use the app to buy
Presumably you'd have to use it?Download the Trainline app and you will never be fined again.
Obviously, I don’t know how people don’t use it in this day and age, it saves you money.Presumably you'd have to use it?
But doesn't this apply to the rail company as well , without specifying an exact time they cannot say I have not allowed sufficient time especially as they did not have a body at the ticket office when it was open.. If you want to still appeal, you would be best to point out (a) that you had a reasonable expectation that an open ticket office would be staffed and (b) there is nothing in the rules regarding the time you have to arrive at the station. What if there was a queue of 10 people for example?
It doesn't. Its just convenient. The individual operator apps are always the cheapest.Obviously, I don’t know how people don’t use it in this day and age, it saves you money.
