The Yorkshire Evening Post is reporting that Northern are going to introduce a revised scheme for passengers who travel without a ticket, which they are describing using the phrase "penalty fare".

After the previous attempts to introduce penalty fares on the Airedale/Wharfedale triangle were abandoned as a failure it will be interesting to see how this works out.
A Northern spokesman said: “Many customers already buy before they board, but a small minority choose not to do so. In order to reduce that number we are launching a trial system so that people who travel without having purchased a ticket will be expected to pay a penalty fare.”
