Hiding from the conductor? Do they still have them? I haven't been on a train in over a decade (other than steam locos and the like).

Yep. Quite a lot of trains at peak time are so packed with people standing though they can't get down the train to check tickets anyway.

They still have them, but more and more stations have ticket barriers before you get to the platforms as well.

Usually no conductor when stations on line have barriers. They are common on First trains

I commute daily and guess I get checked about 3 - 4 times a month

Both the Cross Country and Eastmidlands Trains services I've used recently still have them. Though I guess not all stations have barriers yet.
