Indigo...This reply comment in The Times sums it up.<br />Indigo operates several railway car parks. They issue penalty tickets which are not based on breach of contract. These charges are "opportunities to avoid a criminal prosecution", in other words, "pay us a fine and we won't report you to the train operating company", since only the TOC can initiate a Magistrate's court action for a byelaw breach. This approach is equivalent to solicitation of bribes, and may be illegal under the Bribery Act 2010. Only the government benefits from a Magistrate's court fine, so TOCs don't actually want the hassle.
