>They had argued the prosecutions were unlawful because they had not been brought by a qualified legal professional, but by a lay prosecutor.
„Your Honour, the prosecution is a dumbass. I rest my case.“
>In addition, he is accused of failing to pay fines worth £48,682 from separate prosecutions between August 2019 and April 2025.
Maybe don’t fine him this time and give him prison time?
I don’t blame him as the fares are so overpriced. I can get the train in Singapore or Hong Kong, some of the most expensive places in the world, for a fraction of the price.
Yeah, no victimless crime should ever result in jail time.
> Govia Thameslink
AKA the company [illegally overcharging commuters by millions every month](https://gtrclaim.co.uk/Portals/0/Document%20Files/2022%2008%2030%20GTR%20RULE%2081%20NOTICE.pdf?ver=2022-11-14-060639-000)
Yet somehow I doubt there’ll be jail time for anyone if this case ever actually gets heard.
I feel things would be better if we all went back to calling it „bunking the train“
I doubt someone in South London *only* fare-dodges on Thameslink services.
“Oh, a train? Nah, that’s Southern I’ll wait. No I don’t believe in fare dodging on *TFL* services…“
Other operators probably realise it’s sending good money after bad, he won’t repay anything…
