If TfL can make some money somewhere they will. This has obviously been hiding
under their radar for a while doing no harm whatsoever since the station was
built and providing a nice shortcut for commuters. Can't have that now can we?
Must get every last penny.

I assume its just one new set of gates put in. Hopefully people will just
barge through them and with any luck break them.


No new gates (see my other posts).

Actually it seems possible that LU might have actually opened up this
shortcut to people who previously didn't have access to it - the other
option being that they've withdrawn the free gate pass previously
offered to NR season tickets holders to enable them to use this
shortcut.
