Rail company Southeastern – which has been run by Department for Transport-owned operator SE Trains since 2021 – urged passengers to ensure they pay for their ticket before they travel. ‘We have a responsibility to reduce the costs of the railway and bear down on ticketless travel, and so with the fine increasing on 23 January it’s a great time to remind the people who don’t pay the right fare for their journey that they could end up paying a lot more if they are issued with a penalty fare.
