My Approach

To assist clients and fee earners with achieving the best possible outcomes across a variety of matters and departments.

Area of Expertise

  • Fare Evasion

Recent Work

In August of last year our client, a university student, was found by a member of TFL staff to be travelling towards Waterloo without a ticket valid for the entire journey. Investigations into our client’s ticket purchase history were subsequently carried out and that a total of 184 suspicious journeys were made in a 19-month period. With Ellis Jones representations, the matter was settled out of Court by payment of any unpaid fares and the railway company’s administrative costs.

Most recently, a client of ours was found by West Midland Railways to have travelled on a train that departed later than the time detailed on her ticket. The matter was settled out of court by payment of the journey made at the later departure time and the railway providers administrative costs.

Earlier this year our client, a college student, travelled on Chiltern Railways without a valid ticket for travel. Investigations into our client’s ticket purchase history were made which highlighted 28 other fare evaded journeys, and a number of inaccurately requested refunds. With our representations, the matter was settled out of court by payment of any unpaid fares, wrongly requested refunds, and the railways administrative costs.
