They have also had to gate the Amsterdam Metro which I suspect
has proved an utter nightmare given the extremely basic architecture of
the original line and the open cross platform interchanges with NS. I
also don't imagine the Dutch will be very keen on such things as ticket
gates given decades of open and free entry to their transport systems

They've gated Centraal NS too. The barriers weren't working when I saw
them (a week before Xmas) but it wasn't clear if that's because it was
stupid o'clock, or that they hadn't been commissioned yet.
