Penalty Fares

If you travel without a valid ticket – but had the opportunity to purchase one – you will be issued with a penalty fare of £20, plus the value of the full single fare of the journey you're making.

NIR Fare Evasion

This can be paid on the spot or within 21 days, provided you can produce acceptable identification. (If you do not pay on the spot and are unable to produce ID, the Revenue Protection Officer may bring the matter to the attention of the police.) Non-payment of the penalty fare may result in a court appearance plus a fine of up to £1000.
  
How to purchase your ticket

You can buy your ticket at the Sales and Information Desk in the station or, if travelling from an unmanned halt, from the conductor as he passes through the train.

You can avoid the queues by pre-purchasing your monthly and weekly tickets online or by visiting the Sales and Information Desks up to four days in advance of your new ticket starting.

Passengers travelling on concessionary fares must be able to produce proof of entitlement.
