Yup Electron cards are not accepted by any TOC. Don't ask me why, but they are not accepted. Depending on the circumstances there are a few options availible to train crew failing the passenger having accepted payment. These can include UFN's (Unpaid Fares Notice) which is in effect a bill for the fare, a TIR (Travel Irregularity Report) which is a written report of the facts of no holding of a ticket etc or even advising the passenger to buy a ticket when they get to their destination. Each situation is different and there is no textbook way of dealing with this kind of thing.
