TfL fine for travelling without a Zip (Oyster) card
« on: »
My daughter received a fine for being on a London bus without her student zip card - it was left behind because it was in her coat pocket, and she left her coat at school while going out briefly with her friend. She appealed but the appeal was rejected. Is there anything else I can do?

If you've lost the appeal what do you think you can do?

I don't know...my daughter wrote in without telling me. Is there a way to appeal again?

What grounds would you have to appeal?

I don't know. It was an honest mistake (she had six foot left it in her coat pocket in school). That was already explained though in her first appeal.

You could try posting on rail forums sub

that said, from my casual browsing on the forum in the past it seems to me TFL are very litigious (more so than the overground train operators) and if you can get away with a fine rather than a prosecution which is what they usually go for then grab it with both hands and pay up pronto.
