TfL Byelaw 17 - Enter a Compulsory Ticket Area

[stifle]

Byelaw 28 of the TfL Byelaws (which defines the terms used in the other Byelaws) defines a compulsory ticket area as "any part of the railway identified by a notice stating that no person may enter there without being in possession of a valid ticket" and the railway as "(a) the railways and railway premises of Transport for London and any of its subsidiaries including any train, other vehicle, station, depot, track and any associated equipment; and (b) any train, or other vehicle and any associated equipment which is for the time being used by a person or body for the purposes of providing railway services under an agreement with Transport for London or any of its subsidiaries".

 

Is Barking station a "railway premises of Transport for London and any of its subsidiaries"? In my opinion it is not. It is operated by c2c and is the property of Network Rail.

 

What do others think of this?

Kaykay,

 

You have come looking for advice on a matter. You have received free advice from a range of people. The advice did not support your point of view.

 

We are not going to turn around and say "you know, actually you're right and the charge should be dismissed". We can't. It would be irresponsible and wrong.

 

Attacking the people who give freely of their time and energy, casting aspersions and suggesting that we would not have been quite so free of our time had you mentioned the defendant's race in the beginning... that is at best ungracious and at worst a good way of alienating people.

 

Please, take a moment to reread your posts and see why many of us are offended. If you can't, please ask a neutral friend's opinion.

 

Then, if you find there is a question you have which we have not given an answer to, please state or restate it and I will try to help you. But bickering about whether X person was rude in Y post or didn't answer question P in post Q is at best going to get the thread ignored or closed by the mods.
