Penalty Fares Note

You must always have a valid ticket to travel on First Great Western trains because anyone who deliberately avoids paying their fare, risks prosecution. If you board any of our trains without a ticket, at a station where ticket buying services are available, you may be charged the full Single or Return fare relevant to your journey, or be reported for prosecution, or receive a penalty fare (if travelling from a station within the penalty fares zone). From 31 March 2007 the Penalty Fares zones will be extended.To view the new zones visit the First Great Western website, www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk.
