This is all in the public domain, from
the Falmouth Packet. I'm posting here, in more detail:
Three people from Cornwall have been fined for dodging fares at Truro station on three separate occasions in September of last year.
The offences took place between September 3 - 21 and were all dealt with on the same day - Monday February 7 - at Plymouth District Magistrates' Court.
On Friday, September 3, Zoe Metters, 40, of Pydar Street in Truro, was found guilty of travelling on a First Great Western train at Truro without paying the £6 fare.
She was fined £440 for the offence and was made to pay compensation of £6 as well as pay a surcharge to fund victim services of £66 and costs of £180.
Metters was also found guilty of unacceptable behaviour on the railway for using threatening, abusive, obscene or offensive language and was fined a further £220.
Then, on Wednesday, September 15, Connor Fox, 18, of Dudnance Lane in Redruth, travelled at Truro without paying a fare of £12.10.
Fox was fined £440 for the offence and was made to pay compensation of £12.10 as well as pay a surcharge to fund victim services of £44 and costs of £180.
Finally, on Tuesday, September 21, Nick Lawrence, 31, of Poltair Avenue in St Austell was found guilty of travelling on a First Great Western train at Truro without paying the £6.80 fare.
Lawrence was fined £440 for the offence and was made to pay compensation of £6.80 as well as pay a surcharge to fund victim services of £44 and costs of £180.
All the offences were proved in the defendants' absences.
Their respective rail fares involved were £6.00, £12.10 and £6.80. Was their 'dodging the fare' worth it?
