Sam Williamson fears he could be fined hundreds of pounds after an 'innocent' mistake
A train passenger worries he could be faced with a criminal record after he made an 'innocent' rail travel mistake.
The ticket is named Anytime – meaning there are no restrictions on when the holder can travel - but he bought it using a railcard discount for passengers aged 16-25. Mr Williamson wrote: "Once on the train, the conductor tells me my ticket is invalid due to Railcard restrictions. On Tuesday he was sent 'a lovely letter from Northern Trains telling me about how they wanted to prosecute me', he wrote. He added: "I’ve emailed the revenue protection team with all the info I can, so I hope this will work out OK.
