Yes indeed he does sell tickets but from 2 recent trips on the line
seemed to me the guard was doing more than commercial duties and doing
the traditional gurads role.


When I commuted on the branch, there was a driver, a guard and at
least one ticket seller (in the 80s, most mornings it was a guy called
Joe who knew all the regulars). Has the separate ticket seller
disappeared now? The guard only seemed to sell tickets at weekends.
