The barriers at Euston platforms 8-11 cannot cope

(Also, I obviously wouldn't do that if I needed the gates to validate my Oyster card for PAYG purposes.) Kind of OT, but I noticed that they are keeping one gate open for the tube lines at KXSP, for Oyster use only. It's much nicer to have an open gate and just breeze buy while touching in, rather than have to wait that full second for the gate to open. Good to know. Those gates are a nightmare that I bitch about every time I go through them... |

If they are keeping it open, then why can't I go through on my paper ticket? PaulO |

If they are keeping it open, then why can't I go through on my paper ticket? It's the third or fourth one from the left on the entering side. The indicator on the gate says that it is for Oyster only, IIRC. |
