Also, how do you keep an eye on your charges if you use the older gates that
reveal no useful information?

I have never seen any useful information displayed at a gate other than
variations on the theme of "your ticket didn't work, try again".

Oh, there are lots of other things displayed. But unless I stop and look
carefully while people queue up behind me, and then pull my phone out,
navigate to the right page on TfL's website, and carefully compare the
two - the "information" isn't useful information at all.

You are so cynical. And by "cynical", of course, I mean "correct".
