A 28-year-old funeral director, Luke Potts, got hit with a $102.30 fine—nearly 70 times the original $1.50 ticket cost—for a glitched app purchase that prevented him from buying a one-stop Manchester train ticket. When he tried to explain the error at the station, staff refused empathy and issued the fine on the spot. Despite three appeals backed by proof of past payments and his Railcard, the fine ballooned due to missed deadlines, forcing him to pay to avoid debt collectors. He’s furious the system punishes honest people while letting evaders slip through, especially targeting those who can’t afford legal battles—money he could’ve used to grow his business or help families in need.
