An investigation is under way in Bath after the main railway station's booking office was raided by thieves.
Police were called to Bath Spa station shortly after 0100 BST on Tuesday when the alarm went off.
When railway staff arrived just before 0500 BST they discovered the burglary had taken place.
Det Sgt Andy Porter, from British Transport Police, said: "Scenes of crime officers are carrying out a detailed search of the station."
Passengers who do not already have tickets are being asked to pass through the station, and buy tickets after getting on board a train.
Last January graffiti was daubed on the walls of the tourist information centre at Bath Spa railway station.
Damage to the Bath stonework there was estimated to cost thousands of pounds to put right.
