A TRAIN company has defended its decision not to impose a penalty fare on former London Mayor Ken Livingstone after he travelled without a ticket.
Mr Livingstone could have faced a £20 fine for not buying a ticket for his journey from London’s Paddington station to Slough, in Berkshire.
But the First Great Western (FGW) train company said it accepted Mr Livingstone’s apology and was happy for him to pay the fare when he got to Slough.
