Not that one, but you're in the right country. It's three stops from
platform 0 to the roadless station, if that helps.

well why not just answer the question :  how do the ticket collectors
differentiate between travellers and non-travellers which I posed
above.

They make observations and ask questions. But just because their job 
might be difficult doesn't mean you are absolved from the responsibility 
of presenting your ticket for inspection if you have one.

Got it yet?

This is getting tedious and theoretical.  The practical reality is that they 
can't and if any person insists that they are not a traveller, then unless 
the ticket inspector can prove otherwise they have to accept it.
