That's been the case at some tube stations since barriers were installed.
No staff on duty, barriers left open (where there are barriers).

I forget where it was, but I have had to barge through a barrier at a
LU station because it was left with no staff on duty, the manual gate
locked *and* the emergency open button was non-functional.

I had a valid ticket which had worked fine elsewhere but for some
reason wouldn't activate any of the barriers on that barrier line.

With hindsight I should have reported this, as it could have become a
very serious issue in the event of a fire.
