No. They were charged the outstanding fare of £24 plus an admin fee of £100.

I wouldn’t worry about it. You got a very good result given the circumstances, and that’s all you need to know!

Though academic now, the point is that if your payment method hasn't been "fast enough" to process before the journey (or journey extension) starts, you are not supposed to embark on that journey. This may delay you, unless you can obtain staff authorisation before the journey leg involved.

Oh no sorry I meant when I got their settlement offer, I paid immediately. I thought it was a fair price and I feared they would charge more for admin etc. In 24 years in the uk I had never been without the right ticket and it’s unlikely it will ever happen again. I never want to go through this again.

No. My apologies. I'd misread this as referring to a payment attempt on the train.
