Default Buy tickets on the train?

Silverlink passengers charter at http://www.silverlink-trains.com/
states "We aim to serve you within five minutes at peak times and
three minutes at other times".

You might think that aim is unrealistic.


Indeed. And in fact every train company appears to have the same
charter.

I suppose they *define* a peak time as "whenever the queue is more than
3 minutes", as none of them have any alternative on offer.
