I got a note from Yvonne today to let me know that from Thursday the gates on the Perry Vale entrance will be fully operational, meaning you will have to swipe or insert tickets to get through the gates.
When the gates are not manned they should be left open to provide unhindered access to and from the platform.
I have been concerned about queues backing up the stairs when these gates begin operating. Hopefully everybody will go through efficiently, using all gates available. Please be aware of others, especially if it is raining and dark. I hope that my worries are unnecessary, but please post if you experience any problems.
I still think that the only way this exit can handle the numbers of people using it is to add another entrance to the Perry Vale car park.
