An ALDERHOLT man was handed a hefty court bill of more than £400 after travelling on a train without a valid ticket.

Court documents state that the offence took place on November 30 last year in Salisbury.
The defendant, not being in a designated compulsory ticket area, entered a train for the purpose of travelling without having a valid ticket entitling him to travel.
He was fined £220 and ordered to pay compensation of £38.60, in addition to a surcharge of £34 and costs of £160 – bringing the total to £452.60.
