Yes, i meant that!

what is the penalty for a false ticket?
It count's as fare evasion which carries a maximum 3 months imprisonment and/or ^1000 fine, once you've got a criminal record for that then try and get credit! Black listed for years! (when I say you I don't mean you personally, just a figure of speach!) Grin

Awesome, i bet FGW▸ (First Great Western) are waiting for the penalty fares to come rolling in!
Prosecutions you mean! A penalty fare will only be issued if there is no fraud suspected, a bit like a police on the spot fine for drinking etc, to produce a fake ticket is blaitent fraud with the intent to obtain a service by deception (false ticket!)

The last fare strike tickets hardly looked like the real thing. Using a ticket with the destination "To Hell And Back" and "Cattle Class" is hardly deceptive. Fraud would be more along the lines of making a fake ticket with the correct destination which looked identical to the genuine article and not mentioning participation in the "strike".

I would suggest FGW▸ (First Great Western) taking action against MTLS▸ (More Train Less Strain) protests will play right into the protesters hands as the press will be on hand to record the whole thing and will make a story out of it.
