A penalty fare is not a fine it is exactly what its called a penalty fare.

It is always a sore point about how long you must wait to buy a ticket and
one that only the train company can answer.

Fare evasion is a different ball game and normally involves a lot more than
£10.00!

I'm still not sure about what a penalty fare is for. If I arrive at a
station and am too late to queue behind a hoard of uk.rers looking up 17
different combinations of CDR's to save 50p over a saver, but have to get
that train, can I jump on and choose to pay a penalty fare at the other
end?
Or would I be done for fare evading?
