Passenger from Great Oakley who dodged £3.50 train fare must fork out £400
A MAN from Great Oakley must fork out almost £400 after being found guilty of dodging a £3.50 train fare.
Benjamin Blacker, 37, of Harwich Road, travelled on a South Eastern train at Plumstead in London on November 25 last year.
Bexley Magistrates' Court heard he travelled without having paid his fare of £3.50 and with intent to avoid payment.
The case was proved in Blacker's absence on July 6.
He was fined £220, ordered to pay £3.60 compensation, £135 costs and a £34 surcharge to fund victim services.
