Just had a thought, so a RPI catches you without a ticket and issues
with a £10 PF.

You have no money to pay it, or at least you tell the RPI that you have
no money. They ask for your name and address and you give them false
details.

How can they chase you up?

Having not paid a ticket before you got on the train, but then paying the
pentalty fare is not actually a criminal offence, so you don't get a record.
(Not its a *penalty fare* as opposed to a fine).

Lying about your details *is* an offence, and most people wouldn't risk
having a criminal record over £10, besides, they can easily check that the
address and name match - you would have to use a *real* person's name and
address- incriminating them - an even worse offense!
