Thousands of train fare prosecutions to be quashed

Quick Summary:

As many as 74,000 cases could be overturned following a key ruling by the UK's chief magistrate.

He said he thought four train companies were involved in the process, but was not able to identify them.

Authorities including the Department for Transport (DfT) as well as train companies will now have to agree a list of all people whose prosecutions could be overturned by the end of September.
