Browsing through the excellent photographs on

However, there's one that has flummoxed me:

Errrm, what's "automatic ticket machine"y about that? :-))
Hmm. It looks like the sort of thing they used to have in cinemas.
There's several rolls of pre-printed tickets under the desk,
the operator presses a lever, and a ticket pops up out of a slot.
As you say, not exactly automatic, although maybe the date is
printed on it or something like that.
Peter.
Exactly so, date appeared on front.
For example see

Date would have been under the station name but on this one it has faded
away with old age.
