Man's Merseyrail court battle after he was fined despite being unable to buy ticket

A man who was fined by Merseyrail when he said he was unable to buy a ticket is calling for changes after battling the rail operator through the courts for 16 months.

Thomas Meadows, 37, from Birkenhead, was first fined after getting on a train from Birkenhead North to Rock Ferry on October 5, 2020.

He said he had gone to buy a ticket from the station but said there was no staff member to purchase one from at the desk - and said a sign was in place directing people to pay at their destination instead.
