It does not have gates. Presumably there is not enough room for an

Does the Drain now have gates on the Waterloo side? I haven't been
through that way in a while, but I remember that there were simply
validators at the entrances for Bank-bound service.

There are no gates on the Waterloo and City line at either end. Oyster
validators are in place at all W&C exits/entrances at Waterloo. Makes my
life awkward if I forget to touch in/out when in a hurry....

Ooops! If you want to leave the Underground at Bank then yes, you do have to
use gates. But if your journey involves another line then you can just walk
on through the Greathead shield tunnel.

There even used to be Carnet validators there (might still be), which
were basically a standard ticket barrier unit but without the actual
barrier attached.
