One potential way to avoid such gateline hold-ups would be to head
down the stairs from the overbridge onto platforms 13/14, then walk
down the length of platform 12 to the concourse. Not much good if you
want to stay on the overbridge of course (e.g. to catch a mainline
train!).

Indeed not.

I think fGW need to copy LM and leave those two gatelines open at peak
times. Where most people are travelling on season tickets, fare
evasion is likely to be low anyway, and Oyster users can still touch
on an open gateline.

They also need to move the ticket machines on the bridge, as the
queues for them get in the way, and to have Network Rail remove the
departure screens from the bridge (other than the one right inside the
LUL bit) to prevent people hanging around on the bridge waiting for
platforms to be announced, because this also causes congestion.
Indeed, in these days of central door locking, they could just
announce the platforms. Anyone who wants to know them can get them
via LDB anyway - unlike Euston, the Padd ones are available well in
advance that way.
