One side has ticket gates and the other doesn't! How is this a good idea?

It isn't but there is a massive utility main under the ground and it is
impossible to cost effectively erect a small enclosure to provide
appropriate weather protection for a gateline in that location. *I was
involved in the early site meetings for a scheme for that station.
Others who followed, after I'd left the project team, got the more
detailed site conditions information which rendered an affordable
solution impossible. *Given we tolerate validator based validation at
cross platform locals, at Mill Hill East and Roding Valley it is not the
end of the world. *I would mention the charging regime but it would tip
certain group members into their usual apoplexy (waves to MIG :-) *)

And now that the Thames has been removed, the barbarian hordes of
South London can come up there and GET you all.
