If thats the case then how come you can get a penalty "fare" next time

pay a fare for a journey they made the previous day or even weeks before.

Its a fine.

That's not a penalty fare though, that's an uncompleted journey.

And given you get charged maximum fare the difference is...?


The difference being that, for TfL, the penalty fare is £50 (reduced
to £25 if paid within 21 days); the maximum Oyster fare is
considerably less.
