Can railway platform tickets be purchased anywhere anymore?

Question

I needed to get onto the platform at Stirling Station the other day and had to purchase a single to the next station as platform tickets are not used anymore.

Answer 1

dont know about London but think all others are open stations

think you could just have walked on but I dont know nothing about Scotland

Answer 2

You can get a permit to travel. They cost about 50p.

Answer 3

Platform tickets are available at all National Rail stations, it is a part of the ATOC conditions that they be available. Saying they no longer exist is an excuse frequently used by incompetent or poorly trained staff.

I issued a platform a few weeks ago at my station, they cost 10p.

Answer 4

No, the systems were abused and with the advent of the all encompassing terrorism laws they were completely withdrawn

Answer 5

online/ticket booth if you have one

Answer 6

you can usally order them on the websit and they will send them to you before ur trip!

Answer 7

They are still sold at Chester-le-Street for 10p, not that that would be any good for you as its no where near stirling.

Answer 8

I don't know of any UK stations that still offer platform tickets.
