She's registered for voting…

Penalty fare - first time ever!!!
Just over a week ago, I got a penalty fare for the first time in my life. I am on a course at the moment, just two days a week, and the journey is only about ten miles.

I bought a ticket for a certain journey and picked it up about a week in advance, only to end up losing it and of course the collection code wouldn't work a second time.
