As the hour is now up I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mark for his honest answers to the questions raised. I am sure he will be watching for any other points raised during responses.

The figure of £220 suggests that she was charged with a lesser offence with a fine of 50% weekly income, i.e. failure to produce a ticket.  The appropriate guidelines are at https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/offences/magistrates-court/item/railway-fare-evasion-revised-2017/ if you want to explore further

The fine is normally related to the means of the defendant. However, it looks in all those cases were dealt in absence with the defendant not responding to the original notice.  In that case income is assumed to be £440 per week and the guidance for the offence is for a fine equal to one week's income.  Compensation would be for the original fare.  Punishment is always for the offence and usually is not affected by the value of the fare not paid.  Victim surcharge is 10% of the fine and costs are always for a fixed amount.

Done

New TV series 'Steam Train Britain' starts tonight at 8pm on Yesterday.

Behind the scenes of three preserved steam railways - the South Devon Railway, the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway and the Great Central Railway.  10 progammes in total

Beware of the time restrictions during the morning peak within the old NSE^▸ (Network South East) area on the railcard for journeys starting within that area.  This could make split ticketing more expensive than a through ticket which would not be affected as the journey starts outside the NSE area.

Not open for long then 

Have you left out the last three, vital, words, the last train?
