Two ticket machines aren't enough and one lazy ticket seller doesn't help.
The trainline app allows you to buy tickets for travel. Southend Airport has e-tickets available, but not all stations do. With the most recent update the tickets are saved to your Apple Wallet, like a boarding pass and pop up based on time/location.

That much of a restriction? Would loads be reduced to less than 150 like a 737-700, or is it a restriction which cannot be overcome by limiting load and inherent to the 738 due to speeds/angles/etc?
