Default Thameslink Fare Evasion

It is the customers responsibility to ensure all his discount documents are
with him/her and in date.

There could be a defence if he didn't know and presented them to the ticket
office and the ticket office still sold him the ticket. However, if the
ticket was bought from a machine it wouldn't look good.

Assuming he is a student and the new academic year has or is about to start
it would be reasonable to expect his card was out of date.
