Naturally, my girlfriend was pressured into buying a single train ticket at a price of £51 as she was worried about being arrested. She then had to buy a return journey ticket at a cost of £18, bringing the whole total to £99.

If it had been in a Penalty Fare area there would have been a mandatory penalty fare added as well.

i just didn't want to be caught out , i would feel very embarrassed + it wouldn't be very MSE having to pay full price or pay a fine .

Not much help, but as the invalid £30 return ticket wasn't used you could apply for a refund of those tickets, so £30 - an admin fee (normally £10) = £20 back, better than nothing I suppose.:o

The invalid ticket and railcard should have been withdrawn by the ticket inspector so she would not be able to get a refund. And the following post is incorrect as well. The Railcard MUST be present on the train journey or the ticket is not valid, it can't be shown after.

That's should have happened but as the OP didn't say that their ticket was withdrawn there's a good chance they still have them.

I can't remember saying anything about carrying a railcard or is it your to lazy to correctly quote the post in question.
