@itvnews I suggest you correct this. Both the ITV stories are incorrect, and may cause problems for people affected by mislabelling them as "fare dodgers". The Rail Delivery Group is liable to mislead in referring to "fare dodging", and the ITV stories clearly mislead.

Penalty fares can be charged where someone doesn't have a valid ticket. There is no admission or even allegation of "dodging". http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2018/366/made …

Imagine you tell a work colleague you've had a refund, and they had seen the ITV story. They may well assume you "dodged" when in fact you made an innocent error. It is not necessary to be "ticketless" either - you might have misunderstood the complex conditions.
