Hello all,
I've read quite a few threads on here that state that different TOCs have varying levels of leniency when it comes to prosecutions and/or penalty fares.
I'm a regular traveller on LNR services (NMP to EUS) and, aside from ticket barriers, the ticket inspection is non-existent - EMR services which I occasionally use, they inspect all tickets but seem to be very lenient when people (intentionally or not) have the incorrect ticket or are missing their railcard.
In my years of travelling the rails several times a week, including 5 times a week before Covid, I have never seen a penalty fare given out on an LNR service (possibly down to the lack of inspectors), and very few actually administered on an EMR service.
