Bedford Train Station APCOA appeal

JUKESKA

Hi, I tried to purchase a ticket from both of the Ticket machines at Bedford Train Station, on both try's it did not accept my card either by contactless or pin number. I wrongly assumed the machines were down. Note: I have had no issues with my bank card prior or since, so it was not my card. I had minutes to catch my pre-paid train, so continued on my journey. I noticed you can use an app, so tried downloading it. However the app will not download, I assume because it is a 7 year old Samsung S6 with an old operating system.
I am aware the procedure is to appeal firstly to APCOA (as Vehicle keeper), then use one of the templates to appeal to POPLA, but is there a template to follow in the APCOA appeal, or is what I have stated good enough?
Also could someone post a link to a specific Train PCN POPLA template?
Thanks

Is this a Parking Charge Notice or a Penalty Charge Notice?

This'll be a Penalty that times out after 6 months and the OP doesn't need a link, they can see from recent posts on POPLA DECISIONS (top of the forum) usernames that have lost v APCOA at railway stations and who are just ignoring.

Those usernames are hyperlinks that take you to their profile and their discussion thread, so you can see what they put, but in any case, they lost. No biggie!

Do each appeal stage as SLOWLY as possible.  Last minute. Gets you halfway to the 6 months once POPLA have said no.

This is a penalty Notice.
So the method I need to take is, draw out the appeal process.
1. Appeal to APCOA (at end of 28 day period) 
2. Appeal to POPLA (at end of 28 day period) 
3. Ignore further notices, and POPLA will give up after 6 months.

Yes, except it isn't PoPLA that will give up, it will be APCOA, as long as the driver's identity is never revealed.

POPLA Codes work for 33 days, believe us.
