I have been told that it will be possible, despite this simple model,
to enter the platforms though the barriers and that they won't all be
set to exit after all.


As I commented the other day - a couple at the east end are marked
as 'entrance' on the plans.

I am also assured that the flow will not require people
with bikes to use the footbridge!

But to use the barriers to enter low numbered platforms there will have
to be information screens beyond the individual ones at each platform
end.


Are there such screens at Waterloo, away from the central cluster?
Admittedly, the departure platforms there are more predictable.


Waterloo has a rather different layout, with screens along much of the
barrier line. The original train shed wall rather gets in the way at the
Cross.
