Quote 3 reasons tourists keep getting fined when using trains in England! (https://www.wellho.info/pix/reasons3.jpg) I get the impression of a post made to Facebook more to generate clicks and visibility of the poster to inform - or do we really have a system that penalises visitors who mistakenly get our complex system wrong It IS sad if visitors to the UK are put off from using trains by fear of not knowing the system ...

Or the product does not adequately meet the requirements of a significant number of visitors to the UK.
On the basis that eight members of our Singapore family branch visited the UK in the late Spring of 2023 armed with BritRail passes, and Two Together Railcards, and travelled widely - to various places between Exeter, Manchester and Edinburgh - without any problems after we told them how to apply maybe the marketing is a bit off.
