Simple Caution for Ticketless Travel

[aas1imslim]

A number of years ago, I got off a train and walked to an extended platform to get a second train to my final destination, I saw I had just missed the second train so decided to walk instead, I went to a fast food place within the station to get some breakfast and then walked out of the station.

 

As I left the station, a BTP officer approached me and asked to see my ticket, of which I did not have one. As such, he said I could either receive a caution or be summoned to court prosecuted for trying to defraud the railway services (or something like that).

 

A couple of days later, I had to sign a simple caution for the offence of Railway Byelaw 18 Ticketless Travel at the BTP station for traveling without first buying a ticket, not buying one on the train (even though there was no conductor), and then avoiding the ticket check barrier (which I dispute as it wasn't intentional).

 

What I'd like to know is, will this ever show up on an enhanced CRB check? Bearing in mind I have actually had 3 enhanced CRB checks since then and have always had "None Recorded" under all categories and am employed to work with children now...

If you've had 3 CRB checks since, and they have come back clear, you must have your answer?

 

You will definitely have a PNC Police record - but only police and selected government agencies can view that.

But there could still be a chance that for whatever reason, they may suddenly disclose it on the next CRB (now known as a DBS) check?

no because the whole crb thing is being relaxed anyhow

 

you are safe
