My staff pass never works the gates at London Bridge (Southeastern
side) despite being valid on Thameslink / FCC services between there
and West Hampstead. I have to carry the T&Cs document with me to prove
to gateline staff that TfL staff passes are indeed valid there!


These gates should also let PAYG customers through, though they still
have to validate in or out on the validators on platforms 5/6. However
this hasn't worked for a few months.

Thameslink from London Bridge using PAYG is a disaster. The gateline staff
are convinced it isn't valid and the gates don't let you through. I'm glad
to be back on an annual ticket again just to be able to pass through there
without incident.
