But surely in order to prosecute him, despite his losing his wallet
he must have produced some form of valid ID ?

Or that he simply told te truth about where he lived.

I've had an envelope (returned "not known at this address") from the
GNER grippers' office addressed to a local scrote (uncommon name,
previous case in local papers) who had given my address but with a dud
postcode so the address at least is a matter of trusting someone to be
telling the truth.

The self same ID which
would reveal that he did in fact hold a season ticket ?

Unless the offence is travelling without the season ticket on your
person, rather than having a season ticket.
