Gatelines are a right pain because you can't get through the
normal gates with a bike. You have to use a wide gate and to use
that you have to find a member of staff who can be arsed to serve
customers and open it.

Not if they use the same style of wide gate that is installed at
Chiltern stations. They are operated by ticket, the same as the
normal gates. They have different style of paddle fitted, rather
than the large flat panel they have a tubular construction in place.

Must have changed since I last used Marylebone then. My only experience
of using gates with a bike is Liverpool Street, to be fair.
