Ah, so it seems they have calculated the fare owed on the basis of
daily tickets [1] and given no "discount" for the use of seasons


I make it about £37/day, which is close enough to their figure of £19.80
each way (at today's prices). It appears he's not getting a 'credit' for
his £7.60 a day TfL max fare.

?would he be charged a second £7.60 for the unresolved journey back
home?

why not?

so 15 quid a day

75 pounds a week

all this aggro for the massive saving of 20 pounds per week

I'm struggling to understand how this person has the intelligence to be
become a barrister in the first place

Well, he did go to Oxford

It seems to be a strange thing for them miss out, given the number of
other financial matters covered in detail.

Perhaps he was buying a single (paper) ticket from Marylebone to
Wembley, on the way home? Wembley has to have some sort of significance.

However: One of the other newspapers stories I read today does mention
his return journey, and that he was "saving £24.40 a day", which results
from a second unresolved journey fee.
