One thing I will say; at the FCC stations that have only put in a few
gates, they're so slow that during busy periods they're forced to
press the 'plunger' to open them up and let people through. This sort

Euston has the traditional type, and it's still common for them to do
that to clear a morning peak crowd. I reckon, though, that commuter
services would carry very few fare-dodgers, as most will have season
tickets.
