Penalty fare You must have a valid ticket for your journey before you board a Metro train. If you don't have a valid ticket when asked to produce it by either Metro staff or the police, you may be issued with a £20 Penalty Fare. You will either have to pay the Penalty Fare on the spot or within 21 days. If you fail to pay this you may be prosecuted. Conviction would result in a criminal record and a fine of up to £500. Excess fares If you have bought a ticket for travel on Metro but are found to be travelling further than your ticket's validity, you can be charged an excess fare. If you have a season ticket and are riding out of your zone, the excess fare is the fare between the station at which your ticket ceased to be valid and your destination station. If you have a single ticket and are travelling further than your ticket's validity, then the excess fare is the difference between what you actually paid for your ticket and what you should have paid for your full intended journey. .
