Any reference in articles 8 (penalty fares), 10 (document to be issued in connection with penalty fare requirement), 12 (supplementary provisions) and 13 (exclusion of double liability) to a passenger producing a valid ticket or general travel authority on being required to do so by an authorised person is a reference to producing, when so required, a valid ticket or general travel authority which, either by itself or together with any other document produced by the passenger at the same time, is valid for the journey made by the passenger.

The penalty fare provisions have effect in relation to travel on any carriage on and after such day as the Secretary of State may specify.

On the application of LLAL, or if the Secretary of State considers on reasonable grounds that LLAL is not complying with the requirements of articles 7 (operation of penalty fare provisions) to 13 (exclusion of double liability), the Secretary of State may provide that the penalty fare provisions cease to have effect on and after such day as the Secretary of State may specify.

Paragraph (3) does not affect the power of the Secretary of State to specify further days on and after which the penalty fare provisions will have effect.

Any day specified by the Secretary of State for the purposes of paragraph (2) or (4) shall be published in a newspaper circulating in the area of Luton Borough Council and Central Bedfordshire Council not later than one week before that date, and in such additional manner as may be approved by the Secretary of State.

No day may be specified under paragraph (2) except at the request of LLAL.
