When there are barriers to cut out the fare dodgers, people complain about the barriers......
There really is no winning situation is there?
I'm not particularly happy that I have to walk round from the back of the station to platform 1 every morning, but I leave a few minutes earlier and make the train that I want.
In the evenings on the way home, the gate from platform 2 is open and ticket is checked. Ticket inspectors get in the way, but they have to check tickets as that is the whole point of the system.
I am waiting for gates at plaform 2 which will make it all a bit easier, but I really don't think that the situation is as bad as people make out. I certainly haven't been inconvenienced beyond belief.....
