The penalty fare becomes the journey fare (to the next stop at least)

If thats the case then how come you can get a penalty "fare" next time
you touch in if you forgot to touch out? I don't know of many people who
pay a fare for a journey they made the previous day or even weeks before.

Its a fine.


That's not a penalty fare though, that's an uncompleted journey.
