Hefty fine for passenger caught without train ticket
A MAN from Clacton will have to stump up more than £400 after boarding a train without a ticket.
Mark Giovani, 59, from Elmden Court, was found without a ticket on June 14 between Clacton and Stratford railway stations.
A charge of boarding a train without a valid ticket was proved in his absence at the City of London Magistrates’ Court.
He was fined £220 and was ordered to pay £150 costs and £35.60 in compensation. He must also pay a £34 surcharge to fund victim services.
