“Ticket office at handforth closed at 16:15 on a Tuesday, ticket machine still broke ( week 3) five revenue officers on platform, can I buy a ticket? No buy it in the train, no guard arrives by the time I get to stockport (6 minutes to my connecting train) stop at barriers, haven’t got a ticket told to buy it on the train etc etc, can I buy one here or get through and buy it on train as it’s going in 4 minutes, no, sorry?, no you can’t board without a ticket you need to over to the ticket office, I could buy a ticket on the train 15 minutes ago what’s changed? You must go to the ticket office, my trains going in 3 minutes. Followed by the old bill to the ticket office to make sure I purchase a ticket and then followed on to the platform, thankfully the second train was late (the incompetent bastards) so I made my connection...”
