That's why one person roving the station explaining how to use the
machines would be a lot more useful than one person serving a massive
queue of people who could use the machine in the ticket office.


And it is - from my unscientific observation - a very productive thing
to do.

My comments about a location such as Baker Street, general enquiry
offices and the ability to *find* staff that are around still stand,
though.
