thanks for the reply! I just read a few of the other threads about using expired tickets and how those people got letters about prosecution even though they did pay because they 'attempted' to use the ticket? Or in my case the student card. I don't mind paying a fine, I just don't want any other trouble!

hi, there I'm a 21 year old uni student home for the holidays, And i attempted to use my Children's Bus pass to get a discounted fare on the bus. The bus driver took my card and told me that it had expired and i was too old to use it. since i was going to work, I paid the cost for an adult ticket and said that I didn't know that i couldn't use it as a bus driver had let me use it yday. I am really worried that i will get a court hearing. I don't want any legal trouble as it might affect my course of study at uni. how likely is it that i will receive a letter from them? The card itself does not have my address or phone but i had to fill these details in to get it in the first place so they might have them in their computer systems. thanks for your help!
