Why is there a ticket office /after/ the ticket barriers?

An excess fare is payable according to this operator’s typical conditions of carriage for various transgressions of the ticket actually used:

(Summary) Travel in the right train(s) and the right part of the
train(s) – otherwise you could be charged an excess or Penalty Fare.
You may only change from standard class to first class areas if a
member of staff in that train gives permission or you have paid the
appropriate additional fare.

(Restrictions on when you can travel) you will be liable to pay an
excess fare (the difference between the price paid for the ticket you
hold and the price of the lowest priced ticket available for immediate
travel that would have entitled you to travel in that train for the
journey shown on the ticket)

(The route you are entitled to take) If you start, break and resume,
or end your journey at an intermediate station when you are not
entitled to do so, you will be liable to pay an excess fare. This
excess fare will be the difference between the price paid for the
ticket you hold and the price of the lowest priced ticket(s) available
at a ticket office for immediate travel that would have entitled you
to start, break and resume, or end your journey at that station on the
service(s) you have used.

(Starting, breaking or ending a journey at intermediate stations) If
you start, break and resume, or end your journey at an intermediate
station when you are not entitled to do so, you will be liable to pay
an excess fare. This excess fare will be the difference between the
price paid for the ticket you hold and the price of the lowest priced
ticket(s) available at a ticket office for immediate travel that would
have entitled you to start, break and resume, or end your journey at
that station on the service(s) you have used.

In some cases you must pay this excess fare before travel and in others on the train itself to a ticket inspector. However, if upon exiting the station at the destination it is apparent that the ticket is not valid, e.g. exiting an an intermediate station, then an excess fare will be payable before exiting.
