i will brief the staff at Sydenham so they have the right information however there own discression may mean that they still allow people with freedom passes through the barriers and on to the platform - However freedom passes are only valid after 09:30 on southern services.
In September this will be subject to change as the east london line is operated by LOROL/TFL and freedom passes are valid at all times on TFL services.
All abit messy i know.
we have completed our side of the works on the perry vale enterance and our now waiting for CUBIC to installed the gateline arrays, cctv and ticket vending machines but there is no date as to when. we have no plans to open this gate at the moment due to manpower issues however is it considered weekly when the rosters are created and if we can we will man it.
