A PTP states quite cearly that the fare must be paid at the first opportunity.
Not the next day or two.
"Revenue officer or booking office is not vague". Bolton station has a booking office and the guy at the gate questioning him would be a revenue officer. He is there to make sure anyone exiting the station has paid their correct fare if there is a problem at the gates. If there are no gates then if staff are deployed to inspect tickets before anyone exits what are they other than revenue officers?
Happened regularly when I used to use Bolton station back in the early 20's don't see why it should be any different now.
