| The tickets are kept in a locked box at each end of the section. The key
to the
| box is the staff. When the box is open, the staff is locked in the
mechanism,

The ticket book is then put back in, and the staff replaced on the front of
the box after showing it to the Driver.

And probably make him beat you about the head with it for ripping it off the
