Default Do platform tickets still exist for (i) tube and (ii) overground please?

Can the ticket barriers at Fort Knox be bypassed by using the lifts?



That's an interesting one ... but if you try using the lifts at Reading,
then going to one of the platform ends to watch trains, you will find
yourself being challenged within a very short time by one or more
knuckle-dragging Neanderthals.

I don't know the exact arrangements at Fort Knox. ;-)
