April 25th 2019. Travelling from an unmanned station? The Northern ticket machines can issue a "Promise to Pay" ticket which is primarily aimed at passengers who don't have a credit/debit card, as the machines are card-only. If you are unsure whether you would be able to board with your bike, get one of those and then once safely on board you can pay the conductor either with cash or by card.
