Northern's commision explains something that happened a few months ago. I caught the 0857 Knutsford to Greenbank service which was running about 30 minutes late (that train terminates at Greenbank.) When the train arrived at Greenbank (an unstaffed station) a man on the platform asked the conductor if the train was terminating or going to Chester. When the conductor told him the train was terminating and the next train to Chester was in 40 minutes, the man asked is there anywhere to buy a ticket, the conductor then offered to sell the man a ticket even though the train was already late for it's next service.
