No, as it's not a Penalty Fares area. You're supposed to buy your
ticket on the train.

This is a completely different query, but do you know whether the Gatwick
Express is the same? If you're running for the Gatwick Express you don't
have time to queue for machines or ticketwindows. So I pay on board.
Whenever I've done it there hasn't been a problem, but is this always the
case, or I have I been lucky with meeting understandable ticket people on
that particular line?
