Surprised the increase to £50 (£25 if paid within 3 weeks) on TfL services

I wonder if mainline rail, regional trams, and the TW Metro etc will follow?

Effectively the on-the-spot fine only increases by £5 with the more
severe penalty effective if there is a delay in payment. The press
release suggests this applies to the Overground network so presumably
mainline rail operators will have to follow to avoid anomalies at
joint terminals.

The headline of a £50 fine is somewhat let down by the realisation
that the increase is really only £5.
