Prove that you did not intend to commit the crime but inadvertently lost your travel card so that you will not be convicted of the offense lodged against you. Your narration must be credible to get the nod of the prosecuting officer or judge.

Give them the exact time of purchase ,the date, the day ,the journey duration and would they please such a ticket being issued. Ask them to show you where on a ticket it says you have to retain it after your journey, also what right do they have as issuers of tickets to command you into a criminal offence situation when it can only be a bylaw offence if it in fact happened. You are prepared to swear on oath the truth and nothing but the truth.
Finnally you will be prepared to turn a blind eye to their gross overcrowding of trains which is a criminal offence.
