The following lines are now Northern ‘Penalty Fare’ as of 14 May
York to Manchester Victoria via Hebden Bridge
Leeds to York via Harrogate
Leeds to Sheffield via Moorthorpe
Leeds to Skipton/Ilkley/Bradford (Forster Sq only?)
According to Paul Barnfield from Northern the collectors will be out and about from the end of May:

I travel on the Harrogate line daily and am yet to hear any on board announcements regarding the changes, also yet to see anyone challenged for wanting to buy a ticket on board from a station along the route (even paying by card!) so it’ll be interesting to see if anything changes by the end of the month.
There are posters up at the various stations but the TVM automatic software upgrade seems to be problematic, as some still don’t show the warning or offer Promise To Pay.

from the end of May, our authorised collectors will be on hand at stations along the routes to either issue £20 fines or ask customers to pay double the cost of a single ticket to their destination, whichever is higher.”
