Charles Brohiri, a 28-year-old homeless man, recently made an appearance at Westminster Magistrates' Court. The reason for his presence? He was facing a daunting 100 charges of travelling without a ticket. It's quite a serious offense, and Brohiri was well aware of the consequences.
This wasn't his first time in court, as he had been previously banned from entering any Thameslink station back in April of this year. Despite this ban, it seems that Brohiri couldn't resist the temptation and was caught 30 more times without a ticket. The latest incident occurred on August 18, and now he was facing a total of 113 charges for his repeated fare dodging.
Thameslink, a train operator that runs services across London and beyond, was the one who brought these charges against Brohiri. Their services span from north to south, reaching as far as Brighton, Luton, and Bedford. It was a serious case of breaking the law, and Brohiri was well aware of the gravity of the situation.

But back to Brohiri's case, he was given bail and was asked to appear at the same court on December 16.
District Judge John Zani was the one who granted Brohiri bail, but he made sure to emphasize the seriousness of the bail conditions. The wording was amended to specifically ban Brohiri from boarding any Thameslink train. The judge made it clear that it was crucial for Brohiri to take these conditions seriously and to not get on any train without having the necessary funds. It was a stern warning, and one that Brohiri would do well to heed.
