A university student has been fined £562 for a £2.20 train journey after she was caught using the wrong ticket.
Parys Lanlehin, a 20 year-old student at the University of Nottingham, was found to be using a return train ticket on the wrong day, going in the wrong direction, almost two years ago.
She was issued a £20 penalty fine on the Nottingham to Beeston train, which takes approximately five minutes to complete, but the fine was never paid.
Ms Lanlehin, who now lives in London, signed a declaration to say she was unaware of legal proceedings taking place in Nottingham at Stratford Magistrates Court.
