Given that a season ticket with no accompaning
photocard is worthless for travel, why would anyone
let someone else borrow it, it has zero value to that
other person?


No idea but I note that the original poster did not say he had done so.

If he had given permission then he is guilty of something (conspiracy

to evade fairs or whatever) but as written it is consistent with his
flatmate simply taking it without his permission.

So there is no chance the IPFAS will just issue a straight fine with a
wrap on the knuckles? I was hoping that it would be a simple fine and I'd
get my ticket back.....maybe I'm deluded![/i][/color]

I have no idea if they will try this but if they did
it would be unenforcable in law and you could
sue for your money back. Of course they may
take the risk that you don't.

My annual season ticket is Brighton to London at £3500, so it would be a
pretty steep fine if they decide to keep it!

And they can't do this either.

If they suspect you of a criminal act they have to
prosecute you to extract a penalty.

They do have the option of deciding, without reason,
that they do not want you a customer, but in this
case they will have to give you your money back
(arguably on a strict pro-rata basis, not the
remaining value basis that they normally refund
season tickets)
