Rail Penalty Fare value reform

The Department for Transport (DfT) is consulting on the following proposals and inviting additional comments and suggestions to aid future policy formulation:

• changes to the Penalty Fare value and formula (with the effect that the final value of the Penalty Fare can be varied in line with the circumstances associated with the issuing of the penalty)
• considering whether the name of the ‘Penalty Fare’ remains appropriate

These proposals are still being developed. Your comments will be taken into consideration following the closure of the consultation
