I recall this being mentioned here before, but does anyone know *why*
this is done?

So that someone can verify the validity and purchase time & place of a
ticket to Revenue Protection?

Setting a fare stage doesn't affect the time, which is stamped
automatically by the ticket machine. Why does the place matter?

Drivers (on TfL services), are now only supposed to enter a farestage
at the start of a trip, and when they enter/leave the cash free zone.
The place, which is printed on the ticket, would only matter in case
of a dispute.

Changing the farestage also makes an entry on the drivers module,
which is downloaded at the end of their duty.
