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.
