Having ticket machines at the small stations doesn't mean that people will use them.

I'm not opposed to ticket barriers I'm just saying that many people trying to board trains at stations like Manchester Piccadilly, Liverpool Lime Street and Leeds without tickets finish up having to purchase a ticket anyway.
I'm not saying that there does have to be ticket machines at those mentioned stations. (It probably wouldn't be profitable to have machines at Ashley or Delamere.) I'm just saying that the really rural stations in Cheshire don't get problems with vandalism, it's usually the more urban stations with limited staffing hours.
