The guard did check my ticket, before we'd even completely left Euston
- he just smiled and said I'd got a long detour and that I should talk
to the guard on the return train. When I did get on the return train
the guard there said, "no problem, but thanks for being honest" and
offered to remind me when we got back to Watford.

While ex-Silverlink does have penalty fares, I don't think I've ever
seen one issued, and I don't know if the guards are PF trained.

That said, commuter fare dodging does not appear to be rife on these
services.
