    Should you be able to Delay Repay a Penalty Fare?

    I've not thought about this at all, so it might be a hilariously misguided. I've always assumed that penalty fares aren't in any way eligible for delay repay. But my speculation is "why not?" The wmr website (to pick one at random) says Is a PF, once issued, not a "valid ticket"? Front...
