That's not a compulsory ticket area, though, as it's quite possible to

No, there's an excess fare window inside the barrier.

Which sells normal tickets, not penalty fares. I've bought tickets at the
barrier at Leeds a couple of times (guards on the Bradford Forster
Square-Leeds trains never seemed to be able to find Cuddington in their
fares manual...), and on one occasion been let through the barrier to buy a
ticket as the window was closed.
