Default 'TfL's 'Scrooge-like' £1 ticket for short-cut criticised'

I'm left wondering whether a PAYG user arriving on Southeastern who


then uses the shortcut through Southwark tube station (i.e. to get
straight out the other side) might well end up getting charged the
through NR+LU fare, rather than the NR fare. That's a simple enough
experiment to do... though I'm never quite sure when the Waterloo East
entrance to Southwark tube station is open, as it's closed later in
the evening and also maybe for some of the weekend.l

Since it's an OSI that links it to another thread !

Any idea if Waterloo East now has gates on the main way via the high


level walkway nowadays?

I thought it always had, I certainly remember going though a gateline
to and from Waterloo on rare visits long ago.

Revenue staff used to locate themselves in the corridor to platforms B
to D and separately beyond the help point going to platform A. I
never remember seeing Revenue staff at the exit to the Jubilee Line.

The top area can get rather crowded given the help point, departure
boards and ticket machines. Have the ticket machines been resited on
the high level walkway with the installation of barriers? I'll have
to pass through some time.
