They walked past the ticket office at Exeter central then up the stairs to the barriers.....

My sympathy has evaporated then.

Erm ... it's not quite as simple as that:

So the ticket office at Exeter would have been closed when they walked past it.  Lips sealed

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post - a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London, depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

This thread has something of the Ooslam bird about it!

There is no ticket office on the platform at Exeter Central. The passengers didn't walk past a ticket office on their way up the stairs to the gateline. There is a help point on the platform but not a ticket office which is staffed by rail operators without the necessary ticket machines!

They did at one time have Avantix▸ (Ticket Issuing System used on board trains) machines in that office on the platform, when did that cease to be the case then?

They never had Avantix▸ (Ticket Issuing System used on board trains) machines there! They did have a Sportis way back when and when that went they no longer sold tickets from there.
