I'm left wondering whether a PAYG user arriving on Southeastern who
then uses the shortcut through Southwark tube station (i.e. to get
straight out the other side) might well end up getting charged the
through NR+LU fare, rather than the NR fare. That's a simple enough
experiment to do... though I'm never quite sure when the Waterloo East
entrance to Southwark tube station is open, as it's closed later in
the evening and also maybe for some of the weekend.l

Since it's an OSI that links it to another thread !

Any idea if Waterloo East now has gates on the main way via the high
level walkway nowadays?

I thought it always had, I certainly remember going though a gateline
to and from Waterloo on rare visits long ago.

It does not have gates. Presumably there is not enough room for an
adequate number. I assume Oyster validators have now appeared there.

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.

Which has had gates on it for at least the last two years
