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

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.

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.
