Chiltern Railways Fare Evasion Solicitor

Chiltern Railways operates services between Birmingham Moor Street and London Marylebone, calling at Solihull, Dorridge, Warwick Parkway, Banbury, and High Wycombe among other stations. Chiltern Railways uses Transport Investigations Limited (TIL) as their prosecution agents for fare evasion matters. Chiltern prosecutes under section 5(3) of the Regulation of Railways Act 1889, requiring proof of intentional fare evasion. A conviction can appear on a basic DBS check.

The Birmingham Moor Street to London Marylebone route is popular with commuters and business travellers. These passengers often have professional considerations that make avoiding a criminal conviction particularly important.

If you have received a letter from Transport Investigations Limited in connection with a Chiltern Railways journey, TIL is acting as prosecution agent on Chiltern’s behalf. The letter is a Notice of Intention to Prosecute. It is not a summons — proceedings have not yet been commenced. The letter will typically give 21 days to respond.

David Roy makes written representations to TIL on behalf of clients facing Chiltern Railways fare evasion allegations. He is based in Birmingham and regularly acts for clients on the Moor Street to Marylebone route.

Common situations on Chiltern Railways include: travelling without a valid ticket between Birmingham and London; using a railcard or discount pass to which the holder is not entitled; short-faring by purchasing a ticket to a nearer station; and using a ticket that does not cover the service boarded. Revenue protection staff operate on board and at London Marylebone and Birmingham Moor Street.
