But ISTR that the only ungated stations on the underground are Mill

barriers open somewhere to save on staff costs and then be subject to
revenue risk, that's a different matter. I appreciate that there are
now plenty of LO stations wthout barriers and various 'open'
interfaces with National Rail but the number is small relative to the
number of NR stations that are ungated.

Finsbury Park is not gated, and one entrance at *West Harrow and
Finchley Central aren't either.

Nor are any of the cross platform interchanges with TOCs or within
barrier line interchanges with DLR and London Overground. *The reason
these interchanges were not done was cost / practicality.

For this reason I do not see every TOC station in the zones ever being
gated either. *There are far too many small ticket halls and side
entrances (created when BR destaffed stations years and years ago) to
make it remotely feasible to put gates everywhere. *And that's before
you get to the controversial places like Lewisham where South Eastern
seem to have run into an unholy row over closing off a well used but
unmanned entrance / exit.

They've defied the ruling and closed it anyway.
