Penalty fares note

Passengers travelling with Chiltern Railways must carry a valid ticket for their entire journey.

Tickets can be purchased from ticket offices or ticket machines. Where this is not possible, a 'permit to travel' should be purchased from the machine on the station, when none of this is available, tickets should be purchased at the first opportunity during the journey.

Failure to purchase a valid ticket for the entire journey may leave passengers liable to pay a penalty fare of £20 or twice the appropriate full single fare to the next station stop, whichever is the greater.
