Can i buy train tickets after boarding trains in the UK?


Travel Info
or do i need them before getting on the train?

Travel Tips
In 99% of cases no.

You must buy them before you board otherwise you will be fined.

The exception is certain routes that do not have manned stations or ticket machines and expect you to pay on board.

Others
Unless you want a penalty fare you need to buy them before you get on! There are only one or two exceptions to this rule so always get a ticket. In most big stations there are ticket barriers now so you cannot get in or out of the station without one.
Depends what service and what sort of guard is on the train

If it's a straight through service then you are at risk of being fined if you don't have a ticket. As more ticket inspectors ask for tickets.

Some stations in the UK ask for your ticket as you leave the station.
