If rail companies are told / advised that they should not be charging ticket prices which are higher than required to 'right the wrong' (i.e, Anytime rather than Off Peak or Advance), then all they have to do is increase their management charges from an average of £150 to £200 or more.

There's no connection. The cost of enforcement is borne by the company (and therefore passengers) as a whole, not only by those who cheat the system - it is baked into all ticket prices. Even if nobody cheated, there'd still need to be enforcement. The "admin" charge to someone cheating is supposed merely to cover any additional cost to the company of dealing with their particular case.
