They did, but as I have attested to in my recent posts on the subject I am against that and support guards on trains.
They can’t have it both ways, either have staff at every station……..no chance.
Or have a person + Driver, on every train. That has to be the model.
With major stations with offices.

Issue a ticket. Every train I got to Leeds I bought my ticket on the train from the guard.
General safety
I’m sure I could list more, but those three are reason enough.
Also, that very statement says to me, that you have not used a train on the regional network for a long time, if ever.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t have made that statement.
