At my local station, Wymondham (WMD) a ticket vending machine was recently installed but only accepts card payments. I wish to travel to another station between either Wymondham and Norwich or between Wymondham and Ely but have no cash so will have to pay by card. As it is a paytrain service a conductor will be onboard to sell tickets to passengers who do not have one without incurring a penalty fare. There might be a reason that I wish to buy my ticket from the conductor rather than the TVM e.g. lack of time, personal preference or a lack of patience. In such a case am I actually obliged to purchase my ticket from the TVM before I board the train or am I allowed to do so from the conductor onboard? I will point out that Wymondham does have a sign saying that you can buy your ticket on board but it is old and predates the installation of the TVM. Does it still stand?
