Now that we know that many train companies are ruthless in prosecuting
every single infraction of the rules,

The pendulum continues to swing on this one, current discussion of
RPI+3% fares increases and continued reluctance to make the fares system
actually simpler for the normal traveller is beginning to make people
ask whether or not such activity is very bad PR for the ToCs.

The trick, of course, is sorting out the regular offenders from the
"caught by surprise", although the PF Scheme has quite a lot in it about
treating the latter with kid gloves (not that the ToCs, and more
especially their RPIs, are reminded of this often enough).
