I suspect that, during peak hours, there is more likelihood of the guard
getting waylaid issuing penalty fares, which probably prevents him getting
far along the train - given that he needs to be back in the back cab to give
the right-away from every station and the distances between them are not
that far (at the western end, at least).

The only I've seen a ticket inspector/seller on the line, it was a
separate person to the guard.

And all the times that I've been checked it was the guard!

It varies; there was a patch a month or two back when there was
always guard and a seperate ticket inspector (I assume there was
a fair evasion blitz, and that the ticket inspectors normally
worked elsewhere on the silverlink network).

These days the ticket inspectors always have oyster readers,
but they don't always use them.
