A man who failed to pay his £41.50 train fare has been told to pay nearly £1,000 in fines and costs.
Kyle Brown, 22, of Wootton, Oxfordshire, was found to have dodged paying for his journey between Didcot Parkway and Cardiff Central stations on 1 June 2024.
He denied not paying his fare in January but Oxford magistrates found him guilty in his absence on 26 February.
He was told to pay £600 costs and a victim surcharge of £88, fined £220 and told to pay compensation of £41.50 - a total of £949.50. Brown must pay that by 26 March.

It would be worth paying £41.50, purely to be able to enjoy this view out of a train window, on a journey between Didcot Parkway and Cardiff Central:
