Britfag here with a question about train tickets.

- If I travel from a staffed station to another staffed station, I buy a ticket at the station before departure.
- If I travel from a staffed station to an unstaffed station, the same.
- If I travel from an unstaffed station to a staffed station, I buy a Permit to Travel before departure and exchange it for a ticket at the other end.
- If I travel from an unstaffed station to another unstaffed station, what should I do about paying?

I'm making some assumptions here:
1. There's no guard to exchange on the train, otherwise you'd do so then.
2. There are penalty fares in the area, otherwise you wouldn't need a PTT (and there'd be no machine to issue them).

You get the PTT, and if an inspector pops up, they'll arrange with the guard to exchange it. If you don't meet an inspector, then you travel for 10p.

Almost every station in the UK has by now been equipped with automated ticket machines. The only exceptions that I've come across are bumfuck areas like far east essex and norfolk, and uncivilised backwards wastelands like wales and scotland.
