Contactless on tram £60 penalty fare

Penalty fare charged to your contactless card or device after an inspection on tram

You must touch-in at a smart reader or buy a ticket for every journey you make on Metrolink. If you fail to do this, you are liable for a penalty fare and we only consider an appeal in exceptional circumstances. You can find a guide to appealing a contactless penalty fare below.

An incomplete journey charge applies if you touched-in at the start of your journey but didn't touch out when your journey was complete.
